The pseries platform has been LPAR-only for several generations, and
the PAPR spec:

* Guarantees that timebase synchronization is performed by
  the platform ("The timebase registers are synchronized by the
  platform before CPUs are given to the OS" - 7.3.8 SMP Support).

* Completely omits the RTAS freeze-time-base and thaw-time-base RTAS
  functions, which are CHRP artifacts.

This code is effectively unused on currently supported models, so drop
it.
