Having the two modules separated causes various unneeded complications,

things simpler by compiling platform device support into nouveau.ko.
Platform device support remains optional and is only compiled on Tegra.

Vince, with this you won't have to export new functions for PM. I ended
up writing it myself because I hit the same issue (nv_device() would now
need to be exported on Ben's master branch).
Be careful that when compiling against a kernel, CONFIG_NOUVEAU_PLATFORM_DRIVER
now *must* be equal to 'y'. It is 'm' currently, so you will need to change it
from tristate to bool in the kernel's Kconfig. For this reason it might be good
to get this patch into -next quickly.
I've got a huge chunk of churn (finally finished the "rename to nvidia
names for stuff" thing) pending too which I want to get to Dave (ASAP,
separately from my other pending work) to avoid having to keep fixing
conflicts in the meantime :)
So, if you guys both agree on the patch, I'll send it along early with those.
That would be just perfect.
Vince, do you have anything against this patch?
Of course not. I just tested it and it worked as good as expected.
Thanks for sending this.
Vince
