sparc: writing to tick_cmpr should not cause a panic - this register is writable according to UA2005
Tried to boot NetBSD which starts the kernel by writing to the tick_cmpr register.
Without the patch gem5 crashes with a panic.
With the patch NetBSD starts to boot normally (although sun4v support in NetBSD is not complete yet)
