Hi !
The powermac has a kernel-based driver for controlling the backlight
from the keyboard that used to call into some fbdev's from interrupt
contexts. This patch moves it to a workqueue (and additionally makes
sure the console semaphore is taken and held).
I hope I'll replace this by the new backlight framework in a future
kernel version, but for now, this will fix the immediate issues with
radeon.
