Read it more strongly: drop nouveau from your tree entirely.

Don't give me any "not a solution" nonsense about that.  The problem is
entirely that your expectations for interface stability [1] in your tree
do not match nouveau's development model and will not for the forseeable
future.  Yes, they should htfu and version interfaces like real men.
But they're not going to, so either enforce your rule or don't.

[1] - apparently ignorable when it's inconvenient, but let's not turn
this into a sysfs argument.
