The bbswitch mod has nothing to do with bumblebee itself, it's only the name.
With early version of bumblebee there was no bbswich mod and i used the
original VGA switcheroo from David Airlie.

Later this mod called acpi_call
Those works was adopted after for the bbswitch mod.

I'm not shure if the prime kernel implementation with 3.13 does the same.
I never test it because of missing Guides, and it is only for the nouveau
driver.

But the bbswitch mod is very useful for users like me, whose only watching
hd-videos, using compiz on a notebook and don't play games.
For this profile i don't need the discrete nvidia card. The integrated intel
card does his job well for this case and it is pretty useful to switch off the
discrete card to decrease power consumption.

PS: if something needs to test notify me.
