- A patch title does not need lib/ prefix.
Here, "eal/ppc: " is enough.


- Code in lib/eal/linux won't be used for FreeBSD/Windows.
On the other hand, arch-specific code (here, lib/eal/ppc/) can be used
for the various OS.
Besides, as far as I can see in the Linux kernel sources, powerpc is
the only architecture that exports a "timebase" entry in
/proc/cpuinfo.
So, I see no reason to put any code out of lib/eal/ppc.


- In the end, unless I missed some point, the patch could probably
look like (untested):
