Hmm. Well, I don't know about other systems requiring this fix. So,
for something more simple I could check the smbios.system.product
environment variable and turn the bit off on the MacBooks. I don't
feel like this problem is specific to the ICH7 chipset. It seems more
like a problem only specific to the MacBooks.

What do you think?
