This problem should be fixed now, we debugged it for a long time. E.g.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23847

The commit:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6/commit/?id=7798546495c04a810db86be34ba1f39e370fd325
"drm/nouveau: fix missized allocation for ttm_bo_global struct"

I hope that solves your issue.
