wierd offb->nouveau worked on my G5, handoff doesn't do anything technically other than just remove offb from the system, and start the driver, so it should be like setting an initial mode.

I've started to port this on the M7 in a thinkpad on my desk, in theory it should save battery life as it appears currently the GPU doesn't go into D3 properly, however I haven't figured out exactly which bits are required, or proven its saving battery (the battery is a little old so I can't be sure).
