Well, I think it's at least worth a change in the kernel docs, to
forestall confusion. Apple's using more and more "intel standard"
components these days on its motherboards, and you don't get a parts
breakdown list with the average iBook. Probably just a "not meant
for UMA architecture machines" in the help section would be
sufficient.
