Should this be a separate patch? Stable?

Hmm, seems okay but readability is isn't the best with the ifdef and
mixing power8 and 9 cases IMO.
Particularly with the nice regular POWER9 states, we're not doing much
logic in this loop besides checking for the timebase stop flag, right?
Would it be clearer if it was changed to something like this (untested
quick hack)?
