PPC: Add timer when running KVM
For some odd reason we sometimes hang inside KVM forever. I'd guess it's a race condition where we actually have a level triggered interrupt, but the infrastructure can't expose that yet, so the guest ACKs it, goes to sleep and never gets notified that there's still an interrupt pending. As a quick workaround, let's just wake up every 500 ms. That way we can assure that we're always reinjecting interrupts in time.
