The Intel drivers on Windows appear to have used 0x80 as a generic 
"Something's chanegd" notification, overloading it for docking, lid 
state change and display switch press. As a result of that right now 
we're sending a display switch event whenever one of these occurs. Less 
than ideal. Opregion gives us a magic field in shared OS/firmware memory 
that can be used to distinguish between these events.

Tested on a Thinkpad X200. Make sure suspend is disabled, then close the 
lid. Open it again. The ACPI video input device will send a display 
switch event. Add this patch and repeat and the event will vanish. The 
display switch itself will still generate an event.

I'll send v2 now.
