Public bug reported:
Right now, it seems that prime-select intel makes sure the nvidia driver is not
loaded, as nvidia-settings reports.
But my power consumption is > 20W.
cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch reports the card is still on.
If bbswitch and powertop are reliable, then the nvidia card is still powered.
This is a thinkpad w520 in Optimus mode.
