/proc/device-tree/{model,device_type,compatible} is enough to map
everything reliable in the installer. Dont pollute /proc/cpuinfo
further. There has already enough stuff that doesnt belong there, like
pmac-generation, 'pmac flags', 'detected as', motherboard and machine.
Oh, and bogomips...

Some powermac detection bits for older models are not actually available
via the device-tree :)

What is missing?

Well, PowerBook 2400 vs. 3400 typically. There is more that we don't
even implement in the kernel yet but maybe one day ... :)
