Here's a 3rd version. It may or may not help, as I didn't have a chance
to test this one on either albook or ibook g4 yet. I added saving and
restoring of a few more registers that may fix the Xv problem (or not...
depends what X does at this point) and eventually some corruption
problem (the bandwidth related registers weren't restored).

It also adds an unrelated fix to the cpufreq code for powerbooks using
PMU-based frequency switching which would occasionally cause hangs at
boot.
