Dear nouveau mailing list,
on my notebook with the GeForce GT 240M graphics card, I am failing to start
sddm since linux kernel 6.5.0.
The screen typically goes black or white, mouse pointer is typically visible
and can be moved.
This happens about 90% of times I try to start the system; in about 10%,
everything works fine.
If the start fails, dmesg shows output such as:
[ 20.260153] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: fifo: DMA_PUSHER - ch 6 [sddm-greeter
[3136]] get 0000216088 put 0000217a3c ib_get 00000009 ib_put 0000000a state

drm/nouveau: stop using is_swiotlb_active
Drivers have no business looking into dma-mapping internals and check
what backend is used. Unfortunstely the DRM core is still broken and
tries to do plain page allocations instead of using DMA API allocators
by default and uses various bandaids on when to use dma_alloc_coherent.
Switch nouveau to use the same (broken) scheme as amdgpu and radeon
to remove the last driver user of is_swiotlb_active.

I've tried various kernel (both vanilla or gentoo-patched), with custom or
distro configuration; I didn't observe any difference since 6.5.
I didn't check what the return value of drm_need_swiotlb() is when sddm
starts fine; but

I welcome any help with this problem
