I'm a little bit afraid of enabling this for older machines blindly. I
think I'll do a patch that looks for a specific config option on the
command line until enough people have tested it. After all, this may put
user's datas at risk.
Until Paul finds a more clear meaning of all this, this option should
allow to test if the values we found in MacOS are fine for all machines.
I could add code to BootX that sends the current MacOS values to linux
but this would really be too hackish, I think.
I'll update my test kernel and patch set later tonight or tomorrow.
