Ya, no .ko.xz, no kernel module in the rpm.

Adam nailed it.  But we should go back to Chris' main pain point, which
you might have missed because he brought it up at the last meeting: (I
think) he wants the hardware/software switching that some laptops do
between discrete / onboard video auto-switching to work in linux.

But now that we're reading all this detail, I'm a bit baffled because
Intel doesn't really do a discrete / onboard thing at all, do they?
Now, maybe Chris has a Intel-onboard / Nvidia-discrete laptop, which
were somewhat common on the high-end in the past?

And AFAIK no one ever got those to work with Linux (in X) without
having a reboot in between and doing a bunch of driver disabling/etc.
They were more a Windows thing.

And I think (from other conversations) he doing this because games.

Maybe it would be helpful if Chris told us his laptop brand / model,
and confirm what the base issue is.

P.S. Nice that Intel is trying to do linux drivers "right" (sans the
auto-switching).  I fight with the nvidia binary akmod issues every few
years, and it's a real pain they don't just integrate it all into the
kernel.
