gmux is a microcontroller built into dual GPU MacBook Pros.
On pre-retina MBPs, if we're the inactive GPU, we need apple-gmux
to temporarily switch DDC so that we can probe the panel's EDID.

The checks for CONFIG_VGA_ARB and CONFIG_VGA_SWITCHEROO are necessary
because if either of them is disabled but gmux is present, the driver
would never load, even if we're the active GPU. (vga_default_device()
would evaluate to NULL and vga_switcheroo_handler_flags() would
evaluate to 0.)

I pulled in all patches to drm-misc, but this here is imo ugly and needs
to be polished a bit. What about adding a vga_switcheroo_ready() function
which contains this check (and might in the future contain even more
checks)? Then i915/radeon/nouveau would just have a simple

	if (!vga_switcheroo_ready())
		return -EPROBE_DEFER;

and instead of duplicating the same comment 3 times we could have it once
in one place. Plus some neat kerneldoc for this new helper to describe how
it's supposed to be used. Plus better encapsulation of concepts.

Can you pls follow up with a patch/series to do that?

Thanks, Daniel
