I would be very surprised if this is all that is required for
CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME to work correctly on powerpc.  Have you verified
that the CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME stuff works correctly on powerpc and
provides all the features provided by the current implementation?

  Well, probably no as you say so.

  What I did for CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME is just to fix a compile
error and to see if the kernel boots or not.  As I mentioned,
it's experimental and is posted to see whether I'm moving in the
right direction or not.

  I'm afraid I have not yet looked into any generic time related 
features/implementations.  Looks like generic time related things
should be on the ToDo list.

You might take a peek at the patch set here:
http://sr71.net/~jstultz/tod/ for a somewhat rough powerpc conversion to
CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME.
