Prior to POWER9 the decrementer was a 32-bit register which decremented
with each tick of the timebase. From POWER9 onwards the decrementer can
be set to operate in a mode called large decrementer where it acts as a
n-bit decrementing register which is visible as a 64-bit register, that
is the valu
