Bug description:
  Hello,

  I'm using Ubuntu Raring 13.04 with the latest version of the kernel
  available in these repos (3.8.0-19.29).

  Sometimes I have a kernel OOPS at startup and it seems it's because I switch off my ATI card.
  I added this line in my /etc/rc.local file:
     echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

  I don't have this bug each time but I guess it depends if this
  previous command is launched before or after that X11's launch.

  I'm using this card: Mobility Radeon HD 4650.

  It seems that this bug has already reported to there: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49531 and https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61529
  But I guess it can be interesting to track this bug on Launchpad.
