The kernel oops should be fixed already in nouveau git, there is some
unanswered questions about the issue that caused it to be revealed in the first
place though.

Are you by any chance able to do a mmiotrace[1] of the NVIDIA binary driver for 
me?

I was able to experiment a bit more today (it's not my own laptop). It looks
like it's an Optimus system and I can't get the nvidia drivers to work:

[   230.704] (--) NVIDIA(0): Connected display device(s) on GeForce GT 555M at
PCI:1:0:0
[   230.704] (--) NVIDIA(0):     none
[   230.708] (EE) NVIDIA(0): No display devices found for this X screen.

Still, I made the mmiotrace of the X server trying to start. If there's
anything else I can try, please ask.

It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we
haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty
good
that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot.
(Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git
versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your
distro's
bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report.

In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs
that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please
make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/
for what we need to see, and re-open this one.

Thanks,

The Nouveau Team
