+Subject: [PATCH] nouveau: disallow pushbuf BOs in multiple memory types
+
+Under certain circumstances it's possible for libdrm to decide to move
+a GART|VRAM pushbuf to be VRAM-only.  This causes the kernel to reject
+the command submission on GF8 and up, due to a stricter policy where
+buffers are only allowed to move to memory types that were specified
+at creation time.
+
+The simplest fix for this is to force the creation-time memory type for
+the lifetime of the push buffer.
