We need to make sure that all MIPS-based systems don't necessarily use CP0 counter/compare registers as time keeping resources. And some MIPS variant processors might come with different hardware specs with genuine MIPS32 CP0 registers.

Surprisingly, time.c works fine for us with our 64-bit OCTEON MIPS support, though I had to remove references to a global in the init code because DRAM isn't initialized at that point. The only file in lib we are not able to use is board.c.
