Our guest systems need to know by how much the timebase increases every second,
so there usually is a "timebase-frequency" property in the cpu leaf of the
device tree.
This property is missing in OpenBIOS.
With qemu, Linux's fallback timebase speed and qemu's internal timebase speed
match up. With KVM, that is no longer true. The guest is running at the same
timebase speed as the host.
This leads to massive timing problems. On my test machine, a "sleep 2" takes
about 14 seconds with KVM enabled.
This patch exports the timebase frequency to OpenBIOS, so it can then put them
into the device tree.

The "Mac99" type so far defines a "U2" based configuration. Unfortunately,
there have never been any U2 based PPC64 machines. That's what the U3 was
developed for.
So let's split the Mac99 machine in a PPC64 and a PPC32 machine. The PPC32
machine stays "Mac99", while the PPC64 one becomes "Mac99_U3". All peripherals
stay the same.

For what I know DCR is always 32 bits wide, so we should also use uint32_t to
pass it along the stacks.
This fixes a warning when compiling qemu-system-ppc64 with KVM enabled, making
it compile without --disable-werror

In the very least, a change like this requires discussion on the list.
The naming convention is goofy and it causes a massive merge problem. Something
like this _must_ be presented on the list first so people can provide input
and cope with it.
This reverts commit 99a0949b72.

Rely on the subpage system instead of the local version.
Make most functions "static".
