nvidia-pre-optimus: David Airlie's 0001-nouveau-mux-switching-test-patch-1.patch

[Hybrid-graphics-linux] finishing intel/nvidia support (with open drivers)
This is a patch to apply on top of current Linux tree, with a dmesg from a pre-optimus nvidia hybrid machine should bring up some info on the current state of the switchable toggle.
Testers welcomed, please report back at mailing list https://launchpad.net/~hybrid-graphics-linux, this email is repeated there:
http://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/scratch/0001-nouveau-mux-switching-test-patch-1.patch
Also, if you have time to package the patched kernel for your favourite distro, please post it somewhere so that other people can install it and try it.
