So upstream is likely not going to take this patch in time for karmic,
they would rather focus upon getting the X server to be able to fallback
later in the detection process.

http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2009-September/002019.html

I would like to propose carrying this patch (or at least a variation of
this patch) for karmic, with the intention of dropping it during
karmic+1 or karmic+2, basically whenever upstream would have the xserver
more gracefully allowing falling back onto another driver.

I don't expect regressions in doing this, but if there was going to be
any regression, the worst would be user's with the device ID's
00f0->00ff and 02e0->02e4 not being able to boot into the 'nv' driver,
and falling back to VESA.
