Correcting myself, the iMac contains "iMac,1". I think we should only rely on the "compatible" property. This property contains a list of null-terminated strings, the kernel will put all the entries in the "motherboard:" field of /proc/cpuinfo separated with space. You can either lookup /proc/device-tree/compatible and get the null-terminated strings, or look for cpuinfo. In the list, the only property that seems to be always here on PowerMacs (even on the iBook) is "MacRISC"
