Pls test it out, and please remind all the appropriate people about any

      [POWERPC] Fix gettimeofday inaccuracies

Tested on B&W G3, iBook1 and a G4/466.
This patch causes deadlocks on ppc32, but not on ppc64. Have to verify
it on a vanilla kernel, but I'm sure there are no funky patches in
openSuSE.

Sorry about that, does this (a partial revert of the change) fix it
for you?

Yes, it works ok with this change.
