If the audio client registers before vga_switcheroo becomes enabled,
->gpu_bound will be executed twice.  AFAICS this only causes a minor
cosmetic issue, namely that dev_info() is called twice for blacklisted
devices in set_default_power_save().  This could be eliminated by
amending the if-condition with "&& vgasr_priv.active".  Since this
is only minor, up to you if you want to respin.

Either way,
