That's not quite correct, I am afraid.  If
CONFIG_NOUVEAU_LEGACY_CTX_SUPPORT is not defined, you still need to do
the test, but return -EINVAL.  Something along these lines:

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_ttm.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_ttm.c
index 1543c2f8d3d3..05d513d54555 100644

+#if defined(CONFIG_NOUVEAU_LEGACY_CTX_SUPPORT)

 	return ttm_bo_mmap(filp, vma, &drm->ttm.bdev);
 }


At least that builds for me, need to reboot to check whether it works.
