In qemu-linux-user, when calling gethostbyname2(),
it was hanging in .__res_nmkquery.
(gdb) bt
0 in .__res_nmkquery () from /lib64/libresolv.so.2
1 in .__libc_res_nquery () from /lib64/libresolv.so.2
2 in .__libc_res_nsearch () from /lib64/libresolv.so.2

.__res_nmkquery() is:
...
do { RANDOM_BITS (randombits); } while ((randombits & 0xffff) == 0);
...
<.__res_nmkquery+112>: mftbl r11
<.__res_nmkquery+116>: clrlwi r10,r11,16
<.__res_nmkquery+120>: cmpwi cr7,r10,0
<.__res_nmkquery+124>: beq cr7,<.__res_nmkquery+112>
but as mftbl (Move From Time Base Lower) is not implemented,
r11 is always 0, so we have an infinite loop.
This patch fills the Time Base register with cpu_get_real_ticks().
