Now I tried extracting the firmware myself, but the dump doesn't contain the register addresses that the firmware page states it should. But I think I followed all the steps correctly (start mmiotrace, cat into dump file, modprobe nvidia, Xorg, DISPLAY=":0" xterm, kill everything and stop mmiotrace), so this is rather puzzling. The dump itself is 23 MB in size, and through that xterm I also checked glxinfo to confirm that the NVIDIA drivers were running (they were, including direct rendering).
