@Roman: it might be the systemd nvidia-fallback, which loads nouveau if the nvidia driver isn't loaded. I'm seeing this problem now even with my 'alias nouveau off' setting:

$ systemctl status nvidia-fallback.service

You could try doing:

systemctl disable nvidia-fallback.service

and rebooting to see if that fixes the problem.
