Hi Bastian,

I added printk statements in both those functions, but I never see
them.  Could you give me a clue how it gets to via_pmu_start (which is
in drivers/macintosh)? I have not been able to figure it out yet, but
it seems that it breaks somewhere between pSeries_init_panel and
via_pmu_start().

Best regards,
Shyamal
