It is already available (I have that dGPU myself). Newer kernels are recommended (Linux 4.8+), you need either xf86-video-modesetting driver (known working with xorg 1.18) or xf86-video-nouveau (from git).

Also note that many laptops with these card suffer from a problem that cause lockups when runpm kicks in. See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156341

Kind regards,
Peter
