You probably broke ppc versions here. The driver enables "big endian"
register access, but readw/writew/l functions do byteswap, which will
lead to incorrect results.

The fix would be to probably just remove the code that puts the chip
registers into big endian mode, this isn't necessary nor a very good
idea actually.

I don't have an nVidia card on ppc to test any more unfortunately.
