Ok, here's the 7th version of the sleep patch for ATI based albooks &
iBook G4. Other machine users, please test too as it may cause
regressions (or improvements) as well.

The cache flush problem happens to not be completely fixed yet :( There is
something going on that I don't completely explain yet, might be related to
an errata of some CPU revisions. This version of the patch adds a load/flush
loop before the L2 HW flush on the 745x that appear to make the thing stable
on the machines I've tested on. It's a good enough workaround for now, I'm
working with freescale to find out what's really going on though.

With patch #7, is it safe now to re-enable cpufreqd? Or should it still remain deactivated ( this is currently the only issue I have with the sleep patches ).


Thanks,

/Arne
