In anycase, the "v1" and "v2" scheme is obviously inadequate when you 
consider the range of m68k powerbook models. Also, consider the 
out-of-tree adaptation of via-pmu by the Nubus-PMac project, which has 
this ABI break:

 };

(BTW, these powerbooks are not "nubus based", they are "pre-PCI", so I 
wouldn't want this to go upstream in this form. It could be that 
PMU_NUBUS_BASED should be PMU_UNKNOWN too.)

Pre-PCI is basically "NUBUS" based even in absence of an actual NuBus
slot :-) It has to do with the internal HW architecture. The only ones
that aren't are the even older designs (the 68000 based ones).

What's the situation with those NuBus things ? What do they use as a
bootloader ? The old Apple one or BootX ? We should merge that port of
it's maintained.

Cheers,
Ben.
