It doesn't seem to revert cleanly, but the problem lies in these
two config entries:

CONFIG_ACPI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO=m

Adding a select for ACPI_VIDEO appears to be the best solution, and
is comparable to what is done in DRM_I915. Builds, boots, and appears to
work correctly.

The first version disabled all ACPI functions in the nouveau driver if
ACPI_VIDEO wasn't set. Francisco Jerez <currojerez@xxxxxxxxxx> pointed out
that this didn't make much sense.
