Fair enough, I won't bother you again then. My apologies for mistakenly thinking you would appreciate help.
First, I apologize for my earlier complaint about shipping product with known bugs. Companies that refuse to disclose relevant technical information needed for open-source software development inflict the problem upon all of us. And, Dell Latitude E6520 laptop computers like mine have both Intel HD Graphics and an Nvidia graphics card, which is a corner case:

I *do* appreciate help. But, I do not have the knowledge, skills, time,
or interest to "figure out why [the nouveau kernel module] is not loaded
earlier by udev". If you would like to work together on this, I can run
commands for you, post files, etc., so you can debug it remotely. Tell
me what you need.
Davidp.s. Bumblebee is "a project aiming to support NVIDIA Optimus technology under Linux":
