I guess what I was trying to say was, does having the device in this state
before you start suspend make the power management subsystem confused?  Will it
try to "restore" the pci configuration space to 0xff?  

The radeon GPU is definitely turned on by the firmware on resume and the
apple-gmux driver turns it off if that was the state of the system when suspend
was started.

I tried a quick hack to call the "ON" function for vga-switcheroo from the
apple-gmux driver suspend hook.  But that didn't work.  However, if I do it
manually (i.e. echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch) before
suspend, then it does seem to fix it.
