Never mind. I've unpulled the whole effin' mess since it doesn't even 
compile:

	drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_acpi.c:191: error: redefinition of ‘nouveau_register_dsm_handler’
	drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drv.h:859: note: previous definition of ‘nouveau_register_dsm_handler’ was here
	drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_acpi.c:202: error: redefinition of ‘nouveau_unregister_dsm_handler’
	drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drv.h:860: note: previous definition of ‘nouveau_unregister_dsm_handler’ was here

because not only was that VGA_SWITCHEROO Kconfig default the wrong way 
around, the thing had clearly never ever been tested at all.

Why does sh*t like this even make it to me? Was this ever at all in -next? 
I assume not, since that would have picked up on basic compile failures.

Grr. Things like this is what makes me go "Ok, there's always the next 
merge window, maybe it will have gotten some testing by then".
