[PATCH 1/2] powerpc: Don't expose clock vDSO functions when CPU has no timebase

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
Date: 2007-09-19 04:21:56

We forgot to remove the clock_gettime, clock_getres and get_tbfreq vDSO
calls on CPUs that have no timebase such as 601 or 403 (old CPUs that have
different mechanisms and for which the vDSO code will not work properly).
