The kernel doesn't know what to do with the parameter because nouveau
is a loadable module. But modprobe will pick up the option when it's
run by udev. Don't worry about the kernel saying it's an incorrect
parameter. At some point, the kernel should probably be fixed to issue
this warning when the module is builtin.
