On the GTA01Bv4 with the shipped kernel I do get answers from the GPS
with the small hhtest program at http://linuxtogo.org/~ph5/tmp/hhtest.c

But not on the GTA01Bv3. As on the shipped P1 kernel "power_core_1v5"
was renamed to "power_vdd_core_1v5", I _assume_ that they fixed a
problem in the kernel but it is not in the svn sources yet
(gta01-power_control.patch still has power_core_1v5).
