The MFTB instruction itself is being phased out, and its functionality
is provided by MFSPR. According to the ISA docs, using MFSPR works on all known
chips except for the 601 (which did not have a timebase register anyway)
and the POWER3.
Thanks to Adhemerval Zanella for pointing this out!

On PPC64, this can be done with a simple TableGen pattern.
To enable this, I've added the (otherwise missing) readcyclecounter
SDNode definition to TargetSelectionDAG.td.
