No the drivers will just have to be able to accept the udev entry point with the GPU screen flag. no further changes needed, granted I've no idea what drivers other than modesetting will ever do proper hotplug, I suppose I could get a real PCIE dock at some point and hotplug radeon or nouveau, but there is a lot of work kernel side before we could even start on the userspace drivers. with dual-gpu machines even if we power off the discrete we never "unplug" it, its all abstracted in the kernel.
