[PATCH V2 1/2] mips: add hp-timing support for MIPS R2

MIPS R2 only support 32 bit TSC(AKA "rdhwr %0, $2"), but it should be
enough for glibc.

DO remember Linux/MIPS added emulation for 'rdhwr %0, $2',when disabled
or not supported, which would make the precision worse. If you got
unreasonable result, check your CPU Manual for whether your CPU
implemented it or not
