Pavel Tatashin 83e8eb99d9 sparc64: initialize time early
In Linux it is possible to configure printk() to output timestamp next to
every line. This is very useful to determine the slow parts of the boot
process, and also to avoid regressions, as boot time is visiable to
everyone.

Also, there are scripts that change these time stamps to intervals.

However, on larger machines these timestamps start appearing many seconds,
and even minutes into the boot process. This patch gets stick-frequency
property early from OpenBoot, and uses its value to initialize time stamps
before the first printk() messages are printed.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
