Subject: [PATCH v2] hpet: Enable hidden HPET on NVidia motherboards
Enables HPET for NVidia motherboards with broken BIOS. The patch reads
the HPET address from the pci config space. The patch should also work
if ACPI is disabled.
The HPET search is done in early-quirks because even
DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_EARLY was too late. If the new quirk causes problems
it can be disabled with the nohpet boot option.
The patch assumes that the BIOS has done the basic setup of HPET, but
has not published the result in ACPI tables. This is at least true for
some Asus and Gigabyte motherboards.
Patch is against 2.6.21-rc6-git7 but should apply cleanly to most
kernels.

It looks probable that most NVidia chipsets have the HPET address at
0x44. It might be possible to enable the HPET even if BIOS did not
initialize it properly by writing the wanted address there. Some other
pci config space bits might need to be fiddled around too, most likely
candidates are 0x74 bit 2 and 0xA3 bit ?. One or both of them have been
identified to change in some motherboards when HPET is enabled/disabled
in BIOS.
