This fixes it at least for 250. Not totally perfect but should be enough for now (so it at least works with the default value which is now 250). There is still a potential issue with the core using CLOCK_TICK_RATE to maintain xtime and CLOCK_TICK_RATE value on ppc32 is pure crap, but that is a different problem, this patch at least brings us back to our previous situation.
