Dennis de Vaal reports that on an iMac G5
"The snd-powermac module causes the system to completey lockup/freeze."
Also, snd-powermac is being deprecated for anything that has a
i2s-X/sound/layout-id. The iMac G5 should have that, and that means
snd-aoa will automatically load.
snd-aoa will only be included in 2.6.18, but is capable of automatically
loading without /etc/modules interaction.
The right fix here is tough. If we could rely on 2.6.18, then it'd be
trivial to check if there's a layout-id property below the sound node
and if so not use snd-powermac (snd-aoa will come up automatically).
But since we can't do that, it's hard. snd-powermac causes system hangs
on that iMac G5, a bug that is implicitly fixed by making snd-powermac
refuse loading on such machines in 2.6.18 (since snd-aoa handles it I
patched snd-powermac to not initialise there anyway).

* Only install discover into /target if udev is not being used. The only
user of discover on 2.6 systems is X, which gets it installed via the
desktop task preinst.
