I've updated the title and description based on recent findings.

Hybrid graphics switching support is still fairly embryonic upstream and I don't feel it is yet stable or reliable enough yet for us to support in Ubuntu, so I am setting the importance of the X task here to Wishlist.

However, even aside from switching graphics, the kernel should not be failing with this particular hardware configuration, even if it is not able to properly switch; it should pick one driver or the other and not load both, even if it just has to pick at random. So I'm leaving the kernel task here open, in hopes that some fix can at least paper over the crash.
