That said, it's since been confirmed internally that the low word =20
should always be zero when this happens, so we could share the Cell =20
workaround code -- as long as we do something special in the timebase =20
sync code so that we don't get stuck if the timebase happens to be =20
frozen with TBL=3D=3D0. This would avoid the need for scratch registers =20
(other than CR0).
