Public bug reported:

This happened with today's 15.04 image. The gpu-manager unit started,
the xorg.conf was written, and so was the log but, somehow, even though
the log says that the system needs offloading, no /var/lib/ubuntu-
drivers-common/requires_offloading was created. This caused the system
to boot into a black screen.

Starting the same unit after (the failure to) boot, resulted in the
correct creation of  /var/lib/ubuntu-drivers-common/requires_offloading
. There is probably something weird going on in the systemd unit, as
gpu-manager has never behaved like this with Upstart.

This breaks hybrid graphics.
