What is the Issue?

ConnectDrivers clearly breaks hibernation on Ivy legacy macs as it was confirmed multiple times in #72 .

It is also reverted upon OC upgrade in case it was disabled manually.

There's a couple concerns that should be clarified due to how this issue is stated.

1. Hibernation issues with Ivy Bridge Macs is actually quite rare compared to our user base. Blanket enabling this patch is not ideal

• All of our internal developers have working hibernation with ConnectDrivers, however all of them are non-dGPU systems.

2. Disabling ConnectDrivers would break support for users with multiple drives as the firmware will only connect the booted entry

Based on this, disabling ConnectDrivers should be restricted to systems with a GMUX and only have a single drive. However this cannot be dynamic due to users with either swapped ODD or external disks would no longer see their drives

This entry should be disabled by default and enabled on a per-system basis, as the user would know what situation's best for them.

I will try hibernation on an ivy air at some point in the near future.

What about doing a check if it is enabled and preserving that value?
