Thank you very much for this optimistic-sounding info, Kai-Heng Feng.

How do I check if I have Skylake SoC?

I am actually currently using a modified bbswitch where I have disabled
the acpi calls.  The point of this is to force bumblebee to
automatically load and unload the nvidia modules before and after using
optirun.  I suspect there is an easier way but for now this works for
me.

I initially tried what you describe here but the audio part was preventing 
power management from happening because it was permanently flagged in use by 
the snd_hda_audio module.  Hence my work-around.

I am not interested in attempting to compile the kernel so will wait for
these two commits to make it into the stable release.  Reading their
descriptions, especially the second one, sounds like it is the perfect
fix for what I am experiencing.
