I haven't looked at all the new clock/timer code, is there any   
utility in having support for more than one clock source?

   Of course, you may register as many as you like.
Sure, but is there any utility in registering more than the  decrementer 
on PPC?
    Not yet. I'm not sure I know any other PPC CPU facility fitting for 
clockevents. In theory, FIT could be used -- but its period is measured in 
powers of 2, IIRC.
