Manual for platform-specific features and new __ppc_get_timebase inline.
[BZ #13743] A new class of installed headers has been documented for low-level platform-specific functionality. PowerPC added the first instance with a function to provide time base register access (__ppc_get_timebase). This is required for applications that measure time at high frequencies with high precision that can't afford a syscall.
