Yes. Mostly :)

Thanks for adding the externs to the hpet.h. file.
I didn't see this updated patch on lkml. Was it dropped by the vger mail server?
You should probably cc: some of the HPET maintainers (search for "HPET"
in the MAINTAINERS file).
The kernel-parameters.txt still needs a little fixup. See comments below.

a. Don't go past column 80 (as in "Legacy").
b. Blank line before hpet_lrr= line.
