(Get the code!)
You're welcome! :-)
I did do this in my very own interest, because the OL6/RHEL6 install on my main work laptop all of a sudden had this distortion issue when RHEL updated the drm/nouveau module to an affected codebase in RHEL 6.5, so I definitely needed a solution for this (other than get a new laptop)...
One final request from my side, as I don't have commercial RHEL6 support (I am using the free OL6 clone):
Hoping that you have pretty good contact/access to Ben Skeggs (who I think officially owns the nouveau modules at Red Hat), can you please approach him and ask him to please take care of the fact that Red Hat also applies a (backported) version of this patch to their mainline stock RHEL 6.5 kernels?
That would be great, as this is definitely needed to ensure that all those people with the affected older/low-end NVIDIA notebook chips - such as myself (and all the other now unfortunately silent people who initially created this issue) - will no longer be affected by this issue in the current RHEL 6 kernels (or don't need the explicit workaround using the kernel parameter PCRYPT=0)?
Thanks a million for your kind help & best regards from Germany,
Andreas
