You could try grabbing a Grml ISO, making sure that the according
linux-headers package is installed (like
linux-headers-3.10-1-grml-all for 2013.09-rc1) and then install
bbswitch-dkms to see whether building, installing and using this
kernel module works.

(I'm afraid we don't have a sane mechanism to ship it via Grml
by default though.)
