[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/5] cpu-all.h: fix cpu_get_real_ticks on mips host

[Aurelien Jarno]

From: Arnaud Patard <address@hidden>

Fix cpu_get_real_ticks:
- check should be done on __mips and not __mips_isa_rev
- linux kernels >= 2.6.25 are emulating the 2 needed rdhwr functions
  so it's safe to use rdhwr.

This is better than what's currently in but it doesn't mean it works nicely
Some tests needs to be done imho
