NVIDIA's kernel module right now just pokes a hole the size of a truck and reams data in from userspace. Valve is looking at using Wayland to power Steam, which means that NVIDIA basically need a proper DRM/KMS part in the kernel, and that part will likely be the DRM-side of nouveau. My guess is that NVIDIA will contribute to the kernel parts of nouveau using open documentation to get patches accepted, while continuing to work on their closed-source userspace.
