I've been using the patched libdrm.so ever since you sent me the patch
for libdrm and I've recompiled libdrm today to get drmdevice so both the
system's and in-tree libdrm.so should have the patch. Arch's PKGBUILD
does have a non default --enable-udev configure parameter, could that
make any difference?

I've tried tests/drmdevice and tests/.libs/drmdevice and both wake up
the dGPU.

With tests/drmdevice one of the last lines says:
calling fini: /tmpfs/libdrm-2.4.71/.libs/libdrm.so.2

With tests/.libs/drmdevice I get:
calling fini: /usr/lib/libdrm.so.2 [0]

So if I'm reading this right, in the first case it should definitely be
using the patched in-tree libdrm.so while in the second case it should
use the system's libdrm.so, which is already patched and fixed the
startup delay with firefox/thunderbird/chromium/glxgears and should use
sysfs.
