timebase sync hack

I'm not sure my symptoms exactly match what's described here, but it seems =
like
timebase sync may be broken on G5.  ofwcons freezes for about a minute ever=
y so
often, the fans go full blast at the same time because powermac_thermal is
hung.  The system is usually (always?) responsive over ssh while this is
happening.

Anyway, the attached hack seems to help in my case, as least.  Only tested =
on
the later PCIe dual and quad G5s.  I'm not sure timebase sync is even suppo=
rted
on PCI-X powermacs (definitely not on my Xserve G5 with weird sync via I2C).
