Well, I just tested Linus's patch and it works.

BTW, is there any chance that I can suspend my laptop, and then move
it from my docking station at home (where I have a Dell 30" display)
to my docking station at work (where I have a Dell 24" display), and
actually have the new monitor be detected?  For at least the past
year, I have to reboot in order to be able to use the external
monitor?  This used to work, but it's been a very long-standing
regression.  I undrstand that Multi-stream DP is a evil horrible hack,
and supporting it is painful, but this used to work, and it hasn't in
a long time.  :-(
