Well, then the correct place for the patch is probably in the wrapper
or in a CONFIG_xxx option for your embedded box. At least for PReP/CHRP/Pmac,
I want to rely on the firmware for various reasons (one beeing that Apple's
firmware sets some bits in specific ways to avoid/workaround chip errata).

Whatever, I'll probably edit it anyway.
