[PATCH] ppc32: Fix PowerMac cpufreq for newer machines

Hi !

This patch fixes the cpufreq support for newer machines, including
latest Apple laptops using the 7447A CPU. With this patch, it should now
propertly detect that the CPU is booting low speed on some models, and
let you switch it to full speed (previously, /proc/cpuinfo would display
the frequency of the full speed CPU but it was really running low
speed).
