[POWERPC] Xserve G5 thermal control fixes


The thermal control for the Xserve G5s had a few issues. For one, the
way to program the RPM fans speeds into the FCU is different between it
and the desktop models, which I didn't figure out until recently, and it
was missing a control loop for the slots fan, running it too fast.  Both
of those problems were causing the machine to be much more noisy than
necessary.  This patch also changes the fixed value of the slots fan for
desktop G5s to 40% instead of 50%.  It seems to still have a pretty good
airflow that way and is much less noisy.
