Subject[PATCH 3/3] APM Screen Blanking fix
A simple patch to fix APM assisted screen blanking (this at least fixes
a issue with the Geode LX BIOS). Reposted from before with no changes.

APM screen blanking fix.

This patch fixes screen blanking on BIOSes that return
APM_NOT_ENGAGED when APM enabled screen blanking is not
turned on.
