The nouveau driver has not seen any source changes, this seems to be an
endianness bug in the new X server (or its headers).

Possibly related: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1206060,
upstream fix for that bug is in commit
1af15aaf278edcf6f6de94774350e34a80883c24[1].  I don't know if it helps
for your problem as well, though.

Not related to this bug, but that kernel is outdated and unsupported.
