Subject: [PATCH] x86: Disable HPET MSI on ATI SB700/SB800


HPET MSI on platforms with ATI SB700/SB800 as they seem to have some
side-effects on floppy DMA. Do not use HPET MSI on such platforms.

Original problem report from Mark Hounschell
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0912.2/01118.html

Tested-by: Mark Hounschell <markh@...pro.net>

Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@...el.com>

This patch needs to go to stable as well. But, there are some conflicts that prevents
the patch from going as is. I can rebase/resubmit to stable once the patch goes upstream.
