IMHO, shall we have a kernel boot parameter so that the script in the
initrd check and decide what to load and/or parameter to added.

If that's too much work, maybe put that as a long-term goal.

Bug description:
  The different power profiles require loading the nvidia drivers with
  different options (or blacklisting them, in case of intel mode).

  We need to call update-initramfs whenever we switch to a different
  profile, or things may fall out sync, resulting in a failure.

  The update-initramfs command takes a few seconds, therefore we also
  need to provide feedback, so that users know that they have to wait
  for the operation to complete. For this reason, prime-select will
  provide a spinner on the command line, and nvidia-settings will show a
  progress dialog.
