Nouveau - Jun 2009 - Out of tree nouveau.ko build.

As a part of updating Ubuntu's nouveau package, I've been figuring
exactly how to build nouveau.ko from
cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6

A first and trivial pass at this is attached.  It doesn't do any
interesting kernel configuration checking; it just sets the right
include paths and calls out to make.

I took the Makefile and improved it, it can be found in

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6/tree/nouveau?h=newttm-devel-compat

along with important information on the kernel dependencies. The kernel
config is not any way checked AFAIK, so you need to take care of it
yourself. The Makefile should be good for any Nouveau kernel branch.
