Yes, the 8bit writes don't seem to get all through with Matthew's
patch, but they do with mine.

Just tested manual switching (/sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch,
from IGD to DIS) -> doesn't work either; even locks up my system:

While comparing our patches, I discovered that mine isnt' a good
reference here, because in my ready and complete function variants I
didn't write/read the correct ioports (forgot about the offset; so
they were only slightly delaying execution). After I fixed that (and a
status-bit semantic mixup), the results appear similar :/
Need to play around further..
