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.
