Thanks to an email by jozef imrek I realized that I'm an idiot.  To get the
CPU clock I multiply the PLB X 2 which is 175MHz X 2 = 350 MHz not 300MHz, I
guess I had a brain fart in calculation.  I changed the xparameters to 350
and it seems to be keeping time, I haven't tested it for very long but it's
doing a lot better than before.  Thanks to him I didn't have to wait 45 min
to rebuild the bit stream and probe the clocks.
Thanks Kevin
