One thing I did notice from talking with upstream nouveau today and
debugging the Latitude D620 - our kernels don't have mmiotrace support
compiled in.

I'm not sure why, perhaps kernel team could answer that?

It looks like a tracer like any other, and has to be enabled through
sysfs before it actually traces - surely this would be a good thing to
have?

That then turns all nouveau issues into "fire up nvidia-glx under
mmiotrace", "send upstream"
