So I'm on a Mac and thus indifferent to this issue, but I happen
to know a thing or two about hybrid graphics and I'm wondering
what the claim above is supposed to mean.

RTD3, that's runtime D3, right?  Because nouveau does runtime suspend
to D3cold and has been doing so since 2013.

The commit message is extremely terse as to what exact problem
the commit is trying to solve, and I haven't seen anything more
specific in this thread other than handwaving. ("waiting on NVIDIA
releasing something Nouveau needs" -- what exactly?)

So please state clearly what the problem is and why solving it
this way is the best or only solution.

Thanks,

Lukas
