Description
With the integration of 2.0 nv driver, and putback for

6536127 auto-config: Toshiba Tecra M5 does not start at native
         resolution
6536008 DDC/I2C bus timings set incorrectly when probing monitors

the current nv driver source needs to be restrctured. The current
source includes autoconfig.patch and autoconfig2.patch, which have

(1) VBE fallback probing intended for old CRT monitors where
     i2c probing fails or works unreliably
(2) Bug fix for 6420320

With Keith Packard's fix for i2c probing in 6536008, (1) does
not seem necessary any more, and the changes in 6536127 is
a replacement/improvement for 6420320. Therefore both
patches could be removed, to be replaced by a new patch
6536127.patch, which I already posted on bugs.freedesktop.org.
This will be easier for future maintenance.
