The new Firefox seems to excersize nouveau more than the old one so
when I start 10 firefox windows it just hangs the graphics.

I've added debug code and it seems like the problem is that
nv50_mem_new() is failing.

Why not just use "old_man" instead of basically the equivalent to
"new_man = old_man"?  Can the old_man change part way through the
