I use systemd's tmpfiles to power off the Radeon DIS early during boot to save power. This works fine with kernel 3.11.1 but it breaks with 3.12-rc1. I removed the systemd rule and tried to power the card off manually (echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch). I got a kernel warning and vga_switcheroo died. See the attached file for full dmesg dump.
