Hi,

I'm running the latest development kernel - 6.9.0-rc7+ (HEAD is dccb07f2914cdab2ac3a5b6c98406f765acab803.)

As I say in $SUBJECT, the directory /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo is missing in this release. Perhaps more importantly
unless it is configured to simply blank the screen, when xscreensaver kicks in an error message flashes rapidly on and
off complaining that no GL graphics are available. Moreover, if I start scribus from qterminal, I see the message
"Inconsistent value (1) for DRI_PRIME. Should be < 1 (GPU devices count). Using: 0".

This same userspace works fine with kernels 6.6.30 and 6.8.9

lsmod shows that the nouveau module is loaded and lsof shows that libdrm_nouveau is loaded for Xorg and a few desktop
applications. However, inspecting the nouveau-related output from dmesg reveals:

[Wed May  8 08:20:07 2024] nouveau: detected PR support, will not use DSM

With kernel 6.8.9 the equivalent output is :

I've attached the complete dmesg output from 6.9.8-rc7+.
