[PATCH] keywest bugfix

This fixes a deadlock in I2C probing.

 - keywest holds the pmac_low_i2c_lock while registering the i2c adapter.
 - i2c_add_adapter() notifies registered drivers by calling
   driver->attach_adapter().
 - a driver might access the i2c bus from attach_adapter() which
   deadlocks since all xfer routines take the lock.
