The only thing modern drivers are supposed to do in lastclose is
restore the fb emulation state. Which is entirely optional, and
there's really no reason to do that. So restrict it to legacy drivers
(where the driver cleanup essentially happens in lastclose).

This will also allow us to share the unregister function with
drm_dev_unplug().

vga_switcheroo_process_delayed_switch() gets called in lastclose.
Won't that need to get moved elsewhere for this to work?

Hm right, I forgot the lazy way to do runtime pm by keeping the device
alive as long as anyone has an open fd for it ... This shouldn't be a
problem, since you need to unregister from vgaswitcheroo anyway on
unload. Maybe that blows up, I'll check the code and augment the patch
as needed.

So I think there's 3 cases:
- Trying to unload the module. You can't do that while anyone has the
fd still open, so lastclose is guaranteeed to run.
- Forcefully unbinding the driver through sysfs. Not any better, since
the can_switch stuff checks for the open count, and so will delay the
delayed switch no matter what.
- Actual hotremoval: a) not implemented since none of the drivers
taking part in vgaswitcheroo correctly unplug the drm device and b)
you can't hotremove a chip from a laptop.

So I think I'm not breaking this anymore than it probably already is :-)

Are you sure that this is working as intended?
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100399 sounds like
unbinding works even while Xorg is using the DRM device.

Unbinding the gpu while someone has a file open (like X) is very much
possible, it's how it's designed. That's the forced unplug case. But:
a) amdgpu doesn't implement actual hotremoval support and blows up
b) even in the unload path we still check for can_switch, which will
notice that there's still open fds and not do the delayed switch, so
the code I've removed is already dead in that case.

But yeah, unbinding while X is running is very much possible, it's
exactly what will happen if you hotremove the gpu (from the driver
model pov) physically. The only thing I tried to show is that my patch
doesn't make anything worse :-)
