Yes, the timebase sync is also needed for CPU hotplug, but this patch is unrelated to CPU hotplug.
I added CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU in the next patch.

At this point, I have not thought about how to implement the cornet-specific timebase freezing.

I checked the e500 core manual (Chapter 2.16 Synchronization Requirements for SPRs).
Only some SPR registers need an isync. The timebase registers do not.

I did a readback in mpc85xx_timebase_freeze().

Thanks. I will remove them.

smp_generic_give/take_timebase is the default in KEXEC before.
If do not set them, it may make KEXEC fail on other platforms.
