FWIW, I figure the support is currently reasonably useless for NVIDIA
chips, as there's nothing for which nouveau-on-NVIDIA is actually faster
than intel-on-Intel in Linux, AFAIK. So aside from going 'ooh, it works,
shiny', there's no actual reason to switch to the NVIDIA chip, even if
you can make it fly. I don't believe you can use the feature with the
NVIDIA proprietary driver.
