Fix boot on some 12" powerbooks, need testers on others

This patch against 2.6.15-rc5 might help fixing boot on some recent
powerbooks like some 12" aluminium. However, I need urgently some
testers with other models of powerbooks and mac mini to tell me if it
causes any regression (that is before tomorrow) so it _might_ have a
chance to make it in 2.6.15.

Works for me on a PowerBook5,8 (15", 1.67 GHz, Oct 2005).

Greets,

It boots on my PowerBook6,2 (12" Oct'03).

Cheers,
