This is huge. Thanks are certainly due to whomever worked inside nvidia to effect this change. However, it must be pointed out that it has taken a *long* time for Radeon drivers to catch up featurewise based on the documentation alone.
So, while this will certainly be helpful to understand the workings of nvidia cards it might take a while before the nouveau driver catches up with nvidias (by all accounts excellent) proprietary offering.

And it's not even documentation alone: AMD has people working on the open drivers.
