The nouveau driver still hasn't nailed down its userspace/kernelspace
api, so that makes it very hard for us to add it to the distro at this

Yes, Fedora does provide it in a limited facility, but they do this by
saying the kernel side is going to change quite frequently, something
that we so far have been hesitant to do.
