1. Yes.

2. The new code doesn't involve using nouveau, or bbswitch, or
regenerating the initramfs.

3. I don't think Gdm3 allows stopping X, calling gpu-manager, and then
restarting X, as LightDm does on log out. I hope to do some work on it
in the future though.

Title:
  PRIME Power Saving mode draws too much power

Bug description:
  Relying on the nouveau driver and on the vga switcheroo (to get around
  a change in systemd LP: #1777099) caused increased power consumption,
  and slowed down the switching process.

  Solving the problem in systemd (LP: #1777099), and adding code in gpu-
  manager and in nvidia-prime to unload the nvidia modules, and to allow
  the PCI device to sleep, dramatically decreases power consumption.
