This documentation is for machines with real APM (in other words, x86
based stuff). For a mac, there is a module called apm_emu that makes
the PMU look like APM. Just load that module and /proc/apm and
/dev/apm_bios should work as long as you have a model with PMU. All
recent desktop macs and all mac laptops have it.
