7197f6f7baf29fd76486920e5603e43b25880d3b hw/ppc: Support for an IBM PPE42 CPU decrementer
The IBM PPE42 processors support a 32-bit decrementer
that can raise an external interrupt when DEC[0]
transitions from a 0 to a -1 (a non-negative value to a
negative value). It also continues decrementing
even after this condition is met.
The BookE timer is slightly different in that it
raises an interrupt when the DEC value reaches 0
and stops decrementing at that point.
Support a PPE42 version of the BookE timer by
adding a new PPC_TIMER_PPE flag that has the timer
code look for the transition from a non-negative value
to a negative value and allows the value to
continue decrementing.
