Thanks.

OK, I will do so after I came up with a hopefully final version. I may 
need to change them still.

I don't mind which solution will be chosen as long as we can match the 
Apple behaviour on PPC. I see these alternatives:

1. My first version was to change it for all but this does not seem to be 
the right choice.

2. Mark's suggestion was to move the current value to some other property 
and change the name. If we choose this we need to decide the name of the 
new property. My suggestion for this was "vendor" but this is just a guess 
based on nothing and I'm open to other suggestions. If we agree on a name 
I can prepare a patch. Does the name of the root node actually matters to 
anyone on platforms other than Apple?

3. I may look into enclosing it in [IFDEF] CONFIG_PPC or even patching it 
up in qemu/init.c based on what is_apple returns but does it worth the 
hassle?
