From the Freescale PowerPC Architecture Primer:
Alternate time base APU. This APU, implemented on the e500v2, defines
a 64-bit time base counter that differs from the PowerPC defined time
base in that it is not writable and counts at a different, and
typically much higher, frequency. The alternate time base always
counts up, wrapping when the 64-bit count overflows.
This implementation of ATB uses the same frequency as the TB. The
existing spr_read_atbu/l functions are unused without this patch
to wire them into the SPR.
RTEMS uses this SPR on the e6500, though this hasn't been tested.
