[PATCH 2.6.22] [resend] Allow PMU LED control on PowerMac 7, 2 and 7, 3

The previous patch was not the correct file and would not have compiled. Apologies.

This allows the PMU LED on both a PowerMac 7,2 (Dual G5 2.0GHz, June 2003) 
and a PowerMac 7,3 (Dual G5 2.0GHz, June 2004) to be controlled.
The physical LED is never off, unlike an iBook/PowerBook LED.
It is rather dim ("off") or very bright ("on").
A patch to add a LED trigger to the libata core has been sent to Jeff Garzik.
