Drivers have not seen any love for years.
Be that fixes or improvements, or cosmetics like introducing symbolic

Seemingly the maintainer has also disappeared years ago :-\
Considering nouveau supports all that hardware (modulo nv03) just mark
these as obsolete/broken, referring to nouveau in the help text.
