PATCH 1/1 PowerPC: enable HRT and dynticks support

Enable HRT and dynamic ticks support for PowerPC.

Signed-off-by Sergei Shtylyov <[email protected]>

---
This patch has been reworked against the 2.6.21 clockevents framework. It has only been tested on the Book E 32-bit CPU this time, so re-testing on "classic" PowerPC CPUs is needed (there have been issues as of 2.6.18-rt7 but those should now be fixed)...
