Perhaps this should be two separate patches?

This would be another good candidate for a feature flag.

The formatting here is somewhat weird. From a brief look I couldn't find
any indication that nouveau deviates from the standard coding style, so
this should be:

	} else if (...) {

The commit message makes it sound like SW isn't needed since gk20a
"lacks any display hardware". In that case the comment here doesn't make
much sense.
