[ Impact ]
Support reverse PRIME for Wayland (Nvidia as primary GPU outputting to
Intel GPU display ports). This is different to the more common dual
GPU setup where Intel is primary and Nvidia is secondary.
[ Test Plan ]
0. Requires a very specific type of desktop machine where the BIOS can

GNOME Wayland sessions.
