This changes PowerPC to use the generic time infrastructure for
gettimeofday et al.  We register a clocksource which uses the timebase
register, or the RTC on the 601.

It also gets rid of the RTC update stuff.  IIRC we discussed removing
this some time ago but never actually did it.

So who will be in charge of updating the RTC now? The update 
every 11 min is there to stay on x86(-64) it seems.

Put something in crontab to run hwclock periodically.
