PowerPC uses hardware timer registers provided by PowerPC architecture to implement spin_event_timeout(). These registers make
PowerPC implementation of spin_event_timeout() more granular in comparison to ones using generic USECS_PER_JIFFY framework. This
would handle those cases more granularly in which evaluation of "condition" is taking time or fails.
