Ah thanks for the explanation.
Can we see the state in /sys somewhere? I looked around but did not find 
something to determine the state?
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/nouveau/0000:01:00.0/drm/card0/power/runtime_status 
gives me "unsupported".
But i suspect thats because of nouveaus lack to properly reclock my 
nvidia gpu. Anyway i'm better of asking you for the right anyswer.
Thanks for your time,
Tobias
