/etc/power/pwrctrl patch (iBook, improved ifconfig)

Hi,

The following patch for the pmud-0.7 /etc/etc/power/pwrctl script

- adds iBook support
- improves (IMHO ;) ifconfig up/down usage inside pwrctl_3400 function

It just uses the pwrctl_3400 handler when the PMU_VERSION indicates an
iBook. I think as long as sleep is not supported for the iBook, the pwrctl
script does not need any special iBook handler.

However, the pwrctl_3400 handler does an `ifconfig down' when system
is on battery such that nap mode can be enabled. I was bored by this
because whenever unplugging ac, network connections are lost.

The change is based on the assuption that, when operating the computer
in an environment where networking is not needed, eth0 is down
anyway (e.g., because in such a case, the user will only boot into
a runlevel without external networking).

Thus, when on battery, the changed script just determines whether eth0
is up. If so, nothing dma-related is changed and the cpu remains in the
default mode. Only if eth0 is already down, then hd dma is disabled
and the cpu is switched to nap mode.

Further, before sleep (not tested as not supported on iBook), the ifconfig
up/down state is stored on disk such that it can be restored after
wake up.
