powerpc/tau: Check processor type before enabling TAU interrupt
[ Upstream commit 5e3119e15fed5b9a9a7e528665ff098a4a8dbdbc ] According to Freescale's documentation, MPC74XX processors have an erratum that prevents the TAU interrupt from working, so don't try to use it when running on those processors.
