[PATCH] ppc32: don't recursively crash in die() on CHRP/PReP machines
This patch avoids recursive crash (leading to kernel stack overflow) in die() on CHRP/PReP machines when CONFIG_PMAC_BACKLIGHT=y. set_backlight_* functions are placed in pmac section, which is discarded when _machine != _MACH_Pmac.
