Subject: HPET timer broken using 2.6.23.13 / nanosleep() hangs

I started debugging a problem I was having with my sky2 network driver
under 2.6.23.13. The investigation led me to find that the HPET timer
wasn't working at all, causing the sky2 driver to not work properly.
Simple example:

am2:/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0# cat current_clocksource
jiffies
am2:/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0# time sleep 1
real    0m1.000s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s
am2:/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0# echo tsc > current_clocksource
am2:/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0# time sleep 1
real    0m1.005s
user    0m0.004s
sys     0m0.000s
am2:/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0# echo hpet >
current_clocksource
am2:/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0# time sleep 1
<hangs indefinetly...>

Running strace shows it blocked on nanosleep(). I'm building the
kernel with the processor type set to Athalon64. I've built it with
and without SMP and high-res timers enabled and I get the same result.
My previous 2.6.18-4 kernel works because it does not install HPET as
the default timer. The same behavior occurs in 2.6.24-rc7 git head.
I've attached the config/dmesg below.
