Bah. Yes, I should have clarified on ppc/ppc64.  Sorry for the confusion
there.

Yep, the extern on tb_ticks_per_sec is what I had come up with locally.
It should work fine, and does indeed get past the error I was seeing.  The
build now dies with:

kernel/irq/handle.c:259: error: __ksymtab_irq_to_desc causes a section type conflict
kernel/irq/handle.c:259: error: __ksymtab_irq_to_desc causes a section type conflict
make[2]: *** [kernel/irq/handle.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [kernel/irq] Error 2
make: *** [kernel] Error 2
