Currently we reset the timebase value to (almost) zero when
synchronising the timebase of each chip to the Chip TOD network which
results in this:

[   42.374813167,5] CPU: All 80 processors called in...
[    2.222791151,5] FLASH: Found system flash: Macronix MXxxL51235F id:0
[    2.222977933,5] BT: Interface initialized, IO 0x00e4

This patch modifies the chiptod_init() process to use the current
timebase value rather than resetting it to zero. This results in the
timestamps remaining contigious from the start of hostboot until
the petikernel starts. e.g.

[   70.188811484,5] CPU: All 144 processors called in...
[   72.458004252,5] FLASH: Found system flash:  id:0
[   72.458147358,5] BT: Interface initialized, IO 0x00e4

Tested on a Witherspoon and a P8 FSP box. Seems to work ok in both
cases.

Thanks for the patch.  Good usability improvement for people looking
at the console.

Good idea to sync all TB based on current value of one of them rather
than starting from zero.

Nak - what is a petikernel?
