Ultimately we want to put the disabled cpus in sleep mode, but that
will require a suitable cache flush routine.

I don't have any docs for the particular processors the G5s have, do
they have a sleep mode?

They have, but the cache flush is not trivial to do (and might imply
access to non documented bits). So let's put that on the to-do list and
stick to NAP for now while I dig something.
