We are trying to upstream nouveau. The core DRM changes to support nouveau were but ugly, and shared with radeon and vmware, we need to wait for VMware to re-write them. VMware have rewritten them and they are upstream since radeon KMS got merged into staging. The ctxprogs are legally dubious, we need to wait for Red Hat lawyers to give us some direction, we can involve other lawyers but more lawyers doesn't always help these things go faster. nvidia guys are laughing at us.
