If one has bbswitch installed, (s)he likely wants to use it, correct? So, what about changing the behavior of `PM_METHOD=auto` to always modprobe bbswitch whenever possible?
If it cannot be loaded, it won't do any harm. The only *possible* conflict is that the user used vga_switcheroo before without turning it ON again, but this chance is so small that the benefits of autoloading bbswitch during detection outweights this disadvantage imo.
