It was originally binary-i386 and someone asked me to change it. I don't remember which arch it was. What does Linux-PPC do for power management? I thought Linus was recommending that you implement the /proc/apm and /dev/apm_bios interfaces at one point, and that sounds reasonable to me. Then everyone using Linux can use the same apmd.
