Perhaps there is a better way. You could do this:
git log --oneline -r v3.2..v3.3 drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau
to get an idea of the set of patches that went in. And use that, so
git bisect start -- drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau [this should only do the bisection on those patches]
git bisect good v3.2
git bisect bad v3.3
And keep in mind the dea7e0a might need to be stuck on some of these.
This _should_ limit the bisection to just the nouveau changes, I hope.
