[PATCH] powerpc: enable NAP only on cpus who support it to avoid memory corruption

From: Olaf Hering
Date: Sat Mar 11 2006 - 17:00:08 EST



commit 51d3082fe6e55aecfa17113dbe98077c749f724c enabled NAP unconditinally
on all powermacs. Early G3 cpus can not use it, the result is memory corruption.

Only enable powersave_nap in one place: probe_motherboard()
ppc32 gets nap if the cpu supports it
ppc32 smp gets no nap
ppc64 gets nap unconditionally
