When CONFIG_SMP=y, timebase synchronization is required when the second
  kernel is started.
	arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c:
	int __cpu_up(unsigned int cpu, struct task_struct *tidle)
	{
		...
		if (smp_ops->give_timebase)
			smp_ops->give_timebase();
		...
	}

	void start_secondary(void *unused)
	{
		...
		if (smp_ops->take_timebase)
			smp_ops->take_timebase();
		...
	}

When CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n and CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=n,
  smp_85xx_ops.give_timebase is NULL,
  smp_85xx_ops.take_timebase is NULL,
As a result, the timebase is not synchronized.

Timebase  synchronization does not depend on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.

I found inconsistent time values on different CPUs on my mpc8572 and used this patch to fix it.
But today I found out in ppc64 testing that this patch causes the system to trigger oops in the function mpc85xx_freeze_time_base(): the variable "guts" is a null pointer.

I'm sorry to bother you.
I'll fix it and resend v2 later,

Thanks
