Subject: "double" hpet clocksource && hard freeze [bisected]

Hi,

    [IA64] Convert to generic timekeeping/clocksource

    This is a merge of Peter Keilty's initial patch (which was
    revived by Bob Picco) for this with Hidetoshi Seto's fixes
    and scaling improvements.


I have a double "hpet" entry in "available_clocksource":
	$ cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource
	tsc hpet hpet acpi_pm jiffies


And, more interesting, if I select hpet as clocksource (tsc is used by
default here) I get an hard freeze some time later (few minutes)...
SysRQ don't work ;)


config & dmesg attached
