[PATCH] ppc32: fix last_jiffy time comparison
This fixes a hang on ppc32.
The problem was that I was comparing a 32-bit quantity with a 64-bit
quantity, and consequently time wasn't advancing. This makes us use a
64-bit quantity on all platforms, which ends up simplifying the code
since we can now get rid of the tb_last_stamp variable (which actually
fixes another bug that Ben H and I noticed while going carefully through
the code).
This works fine on my G4 tibook. Let me know how it goes on your
machines.
