[OpenBIOS] [PATCH] Dummy tick counter

[Olivier Danet]

romvec.pvtime is a pointer to a millisecond rate uptime counter.
NextSTEP uses this counter for timing the 10 seconds timeout during 
boot, when
asking for boot options.

For now, let's just set this to a constant, there is no timeout, but we 
avoid
null pointer dereferencing.
