It shouldn't be ... Even if mach_powermac is __init, the address of it
is invariant and is a kind of "id" of the machine, so that should have
worked. I've very worried if that breaks ... Maybe there is an issue
when doing that in modules... in fact, yeah... there must be ! I suppose
I need to have all the mach_xxx EXPORT'ed ! That complicates things a
bit, I'll have to think about it ...
