powerpc: Convert some mftb/mftbu into mfspr
Some CPUs (such as e500v1/v2) don't implement mftb and will take a trap. mfspr should work on everything that has a timebase, and is the preferred instruction according to ISA v2.06. Currently we get away with mftb on 85xx because the assembler converts it to mfspr due to -Wa,-me500. However, that flag has other effects that are undesireable for certain targets (e.g. lwsync is converted to sync), and is hostile to multiplatform kernels. Thus we would like to stop setting it for all e500-family builds. mftb/mftbu instances which are in 85xx code or common code are converted. Instances which will never run on 85xx are left alone.
