It's a bit of a mystery unfortunately. Adding to the annoyance, Ben said
that it does work just fine on his NVC8, although he has the less
powerful versions. Could be something with high ROP/TPC/GPC counts not
being handled. (Or multiple PARTs?)

That might actually be an interesting experiment -- before loading
nouveau, mask out a bunch of the units and see if it helps. If it does,
find the "breaking" point.

This is the code that computes that stuff:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~darktama/nouveau/tree/nvkm/engine/graph/nvc0.c#n1330

        priv->rop_nr = (nv_rd32(priv, 0x409604) & 0x001f0000) >> 16;
        priv->gpc_nr =  nv_rd32(priv, 0x409604) & 0x0000001f;
        for (i = 0; i < priv->gpc_nr; i++) {
                priv->tpc_nr[i]  = nv_rd32(priv, GPC_UNIT(i, 0x2608));
                priv->tpc_total += priv->tpc_nr[i];
        }

Step 1: Print out the various values (i.e. number of ROPs, GPCs, and the 
per-GPC TPC counts).
Step 2: Artificially lower them (to, e.g., 1) and see if it helps. If it does, 
figure out which of the values matter and where the breaking points are.

If it doesn't help, perhaps the units need to be disabled a little
harder, e.g. by setting 0x22584/0x22588.
