That's not nouveau. That's Nvidia's binary blob.
That is not a problem in this case (isn't nv the predecessor for
nouveau? and nvidia the proprietary module from Nvidia?). Here are some
more lines from my Xorg log file:
[ 24.142] (II) LoadModule: "nouveau"

As you see it loads the nouveau module and then tries the nv module, but
fails as that one is not available. It is reported as an error, but can
be silently ignored as the nouveu module has been loaded.
Why Neal has problems running the latest kernel with the nouveau module
is still unclear (runs fine with me).
