[PATCH] hp-timing for ppc32/64

There is no value in supporting any architecture which has no trivial 
access to the hardware counter.  The information is nowadays only used 
for measuring ld.so startup times and some random data (I think it's 
still in).  The clocks are now handled correctly by the kernel.

So, leave out 32-bit support unless it can be determined that the 
supported configuration will always have it.
