Many new laptops now come with 2 gpus, one to be used for low power
modes and one for gaming/on-ac applications. These GPUs are typically
wired to the laptop panel and VGA ports via a multiplexer unit which
is controlled via ACPI methods.
4 combinations of systems typically exist - with 2 ACPI methods.
Intel/ATI - Lenovo W500/T500 - use ATPX ACPI method
ATI/ATI - some ASUS - use ATPX ACPI Method
Intel/Nvidia - - use _DSM ACPI method
Nvidia/Nvidia - - use _DSM ACPI method.
TODO:
This patch adds support for the ATPX method and initial bits
for the _DSM methods that need to written by someone with
access to the hardware.
Add a proper non-debugfs interface - need to get some proper
testing first.
v2: add power up/down support for both devices
on W500 puts i915/radeon into D3 and cuts power to radeon.
v3: redo probing methods, no DMI list, drm devices call to
register with switcheroo, it tries to find an ATPX method on
any device and once there is two devices + ATPX it inits the
switcher.
v4: ATPX msg handling using buffers - should work on more machines
v5: rearchitect after more mjg59 discussion - move ATPX handling to
radeon driver.
v6: add file headers + initial nouveau bits (to be filled out).
v7: merge delayed switcher code.
v8: avoid suspend/resume of gpu that is off
v9: rearchitect - mjg59 is always right. - move all ATPX code to
radeon, should allow simpler DSM also proper ATRM handling
v10: add ATRM support for radeon BIOS, add mutex to lock vgasr_priv
v11: fix bug in resuming Intel for 2nd time.
v12: start fixing up nvidia code blindly.
v13: blindly guess at finishing nvidia code
v14: remove radeon audio hacks - fix up intel resume more like upstream
v15: clean up printks + remove unnecessary igd/dis pointers
mount debugfs
/sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch - should exist if ATPX detected
+ 2 cards.
DIS - immediate change to discrete
IGD - immediate change to IGD
DDIS - delayed change to discrete
DIGD - delayed change to IGD
ON - turn on not in use
OFF - turn off not in use
Tested on W500 (Intel/ATI) and T500 (Intel/ATI)

This adds a drm/kms staging non-API stable driver for GPUs from NVIDIA.
This driver is a KMS-based driver and requires a compatible nouveau
userspace libdrm and nouveau X.org driver.
This driver requires firmware files not available in this kernel tree,
interested parties can find them via the nouveau project git archive.
This driver is reverse engineered, and is in no way supported by nVidia.
Support for nearly the complete range of nvidia hw from nv04->g80 (nv50)
is available, and the kms driver should support driving nearly all
output types (displayport is under development still) along with supporting
suspend/resume.
This work is all from the upstream nouveau project found at
nouveau.freedesktop.org.
