Hey, Alberto. I have a few questions: 1. Are these changes intended to be deployed to Bionic, eventually? (I assume yes, by the names/versions you're working on, but I wanted to confirm this)
2. Would it make it not necessary to switch to nouveau at all? (I assume this is why prime-select currently has to generate another initramfs, right?) 3. Could this, along with restarting some services, make switching without a full reboot possible? Or would that still require LightDM?

Solving the problem in systemd (LP: #1777099), and adding code in gpu- manager and in nvidia-prime to unload the nvidia modules, and to allow the PCI device to sleep, dramatically decreases power consumption.
