I disagree with having this structure. Basic strategy for MIPS COUNT/ COMPARE handling is, let them overflow (os should I say wrap-around) as they are. All we need is the Delta, not the numbers of overflows.

You *do* need the full, non-overflowing counter if you want to provide the 32-bit millisecond clock that u-boot wants. Read the recent discussion on CFG_HZ that led to this patch.
