I'd like some comments on the following patch.

This patch is designed to add finer-grained timing (similar to the i386 timing)
to add_timer_randomness().  The only tricky bit is that the PPC601 doesn't
support the timebase registers.  Accordingly, I've added a flag to the PPC port
that is used to keep track of whether or not the processor supports the timebase
register.

Is there a better way to keep track of this information?  i386 has a struct with
useful information stored, but it doesn't look like PPC does.

Thanks,

Chris
