The Freescale hypervisor does not allow guests to write to the timebase

so don't try to synchronize the timebase registers when we're running
under the hypervisor.

This typically happens when kexec support is enabled.

FWIW, it's not supported under KVM either -- though we don't support an SMP
guest under KVM yet, and KVM silently ignores it rather than logs errors as
the FSL HV does.
