Ok, I've done some more digging.
On PPC, bd->bi_busfreq is the same as gd->bus_clk. In fact, there are a bunch
of clocks in bd that are equal to similar values in gd. The bd_t contains
info that is passed to non-openfirmware versions of Linux, and the gd_t
contains just general globally-defined data.
My guess is that anything which isn't directly used to boot non-OF Linux
should use the gd structure. So get_tbclk() does the right thing (although
the rounding could be wrong), but OF_TBCLK should probably use gd->bus_clk.
