           x86-tsc: Architectures may define their own clocks. For
                    example, x86 uses its own TSC cycle clock here.
 
+          ppc-tb: This uses the powerpc timebase register value.
+                  This is in sync across CPUs and can also be used

         To set a clock, simply echo the clock name into this file.
