Thanks Luke for the quick reply and the pointers...

Indeed in the "thermal" hook of initramfs, the following snippet adds
the thermal modules to the initrd and pushes a bunch of modules for any
powerpc arch:

case "$DPKG_ARCH" in
# copy the right modules
powerpc|ppc64)
	force_load therm_pm72
	force_load windfarm_core
	force_load windfarm_cpufreq_clamp
	force_load windfarm_lm75_sensor
	force_load windfarm_max6690_sensor
	force_load windfarm_pid
	force_load windfarm_pm112
	force_load windfarm_pm81
	force_load windfarm_pm91
	force_load windfarm_smu_controls
	force_load windfarm_smu_sat
	force_load windfarm_smu_sensors
	force_load i2c-powermac
	;;
i386|amd64|ia64|lpia)
	force_load fan
	force_load thermal
	;;
esac

Now how to split this check between PS3 and Apple hardware... I will
look at other scripts / hooks.

Thanks again
