Why is this under CONFIG_KEXEC?  It'll also be needed for CPU hotplug.

I know you say this is for dual-core chips only, but it would be nice if
you'd write this in a way that doesn't assume that (even if the
corenet-specific timebase freezing comes later).

Do we need an isync after setting the timebase, to ensure it's happened
before we enable the timebase?  Likewise, do we need a readback after
disabling the timebase to ensure it's disabled before we read the
timebase in give_timebase?

MPC8560 and MPC8536 are single-core...

Also please use a more specific name, such as e500v2_smp_guts_ids or
mpc85xx_smp_guts_ids -- when corenet support is added it will likely be
in the same file.

Do not use smp_generic_give/take_timebase, ever.  If you don't have the
guts node, then just assume the timebase is already synced.
