[PATCH] powerpc/pseries: export timebase register sample in lparcfg

[Tyrel Datwyler]

The Processor Utilzation of Resource Registers (PURR) provide an estimate of
resources used by a cpu thread. Section 7.6 in Book III of the ISA outlines
how to calculate the percentage of shared resources for threads using the
ratio of the PURR delta and Timebase Register delta for a sampled period.

This calculation is currently done erroneously by the lparstat tool from the
powerpc-utils package. This patch exports the current timebase value after
we sample the PURRs and exposes it to userspace accounting tools via
/proc/ppc64/lparcfg.
