+do an mmio trace of the blob (version < 270.xx preferred)
+ * activate Kernel Hacking -> Tracers -> Memory mapped IO tracing
+ * mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug (if not mounted already)
+ * echo mmiotrace > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
+ * cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe > mydump.txt &
+ * make sure the blob is not initialized (rmmod nvidia)
+ * run X or a CUDA application
+ * echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
+
+Extract register writes from the trace and put them in binary files:
+ * 41a1c4 -> fuc41ad
+ * 4091c4 -> fuc409d
+ * 41a184 -> fuc41ac
+ * 409184 -> fuc409c
+
+The important lines in the trace will look like this:
+{{{ 
+W 4 433.851950 1 0xXX41a1c4 0x2072614d 0x0 0 
+}}}
+where 0xXX41a1c4 is the register and 0x2072614d the value written
+
+and put them in binary files in /lib/firmware/nouveau/
+
+{{{
+#! /bin/sh
+# insert correct register in next line
+grep XX41a1c4 mydump.txt \
+| awk '{print $6}' | grep -oP '(?<=0x).*' | \
+        python -c \
