[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.
