Any activity on this? The newly attached patch contains one difference with
the previous
one: a dummy function has been added to avoid an error if ACPI is disabled.

Lekensteyn

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] nouveau: properly check for _DSM function support

According to the ACPI spec version 4, section 9.14.1, _DSM functions
must return a value with the first bit enabled if any DSM functions are
supported for the given UUID and revision ID. For a given function index n
to be marked supported, bit n must be enabled.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] nouveau: Support Optimus models for vga_switcheroo

Newer nVidia cards with Optimus do not support/use the DSM switching functions.
Instead, it require a DSM function to be called prior to bringing a device into
D3 state. No other _DSM calls are necessary before/after enabling/disabling a
device. Switching between discrete and integrated GPU is not supported by
this Optimus _DSM call, therefore return on the switching method.
