Surprisingly, time.c works fine for us with our 64-bit OCTEON MIPS support, though I had to remove references to a global in the init code because DRAM isn't initialized at that point. The only file in lib we are not able to use is board.c. -Aaron

Current timer routines (arch/mips/lib/timer.c) are implemented assuming that MIPS32 coprocessor (CP0) resources, Counter and Compare registers in this case, are available. But this doesn't always work. We need to make sure that all MIPS-based systems don't necessarily use CP0 counter/compare registers as time keeping resources. And some MIPS variant processors might come with different hardware specs with genuine MIPS32 CP0 registers. This patch makes each $(CPU) can have its own timer code.
