At one point I had this working, but I managed to lose the patch and
was unable to figure out how to do it again - the register Corey
mentions is read only and I believe I tried writing to it without any
luck.

Currently I've kludged round the issue by setting the state to always
power on in the original Via BIOS before I reflash with LinuxBIOS. It
would of course be nicer to do it properly with just LinuxBIOS.
