The NVIF interface is not the correct one to use. There's a _DSM method 
on the Nvidia PCI device that will call the appropriate methods. nouveau 
should support this in the current kernels - right now it'll just set 
the graphics to whatever state the BIOS has programmed. A module 
parameter to change the default might be interesting.

If you want to do this with the nvidia binary driver, you'll need to get 
nvidia to add support.
