This is slightly annoying when using the anti-pulsing hack, since the
hack maintains a *roughly* correct tachometer register readout even
during disengaged mode (since it invokes disengaged mode for just a
few seconds at a time and RPM does not drift by much).
With this patch, applets reading the tachometer when antipulse is
being used will get "unknown" instead of a roughly correct value.

But I guess it should be done anyway.
