The only change here is that a readlock is taken while the property list
is being traversed on Sparc where it was not taken previously.

Also, Sparc uses strcasecmp to compare property names while PowerPC
uses strcmp.

Ok, so that's the opposite as the previous one... property names are
supposed to be case sensitive though, no ? Dave, how do you think we
should converge here ? I don't think we would take much risk on ppc by
using strncasecmp but it shouldn't be necessary...

The difference is that some properties are all-caps on powerpc
when they are lowecase on sparc, the Radeon properties are a
good example.

I think if we use strncasecmp across the board, nothing will
break.
