Subject: [PATCH] drm/nouveau: disable acceleration on NVA3/NVA5/NVA8 by default

There's an GPU lockup problem for which the cause is currently unknown
on these chipsets.

Until it's resolved, it's better to leave the user with a working system
without acceleration than to have random lockups.

With this patch, acceleration will be off by default if a known problem
chipset is detected, but can be re-enabled with nouveau.noaccel=0 on
the kernel commandline.
