Yes, the cop0 interrupt doesn't fire until you write count once.  U-boot does
this in its MIPS timer code, and our hardware team confirmed this is the case.
I added this line before we started booting with U-boot, so it is probably fine
without it now.

I think so, we aren't very different from the simpler MTI boards.  I was under
the mistaken impression that MIPS didn't have a generic platform like ARM, but
I'll give this a try along with the other changes you suggested now that I
know about it.
