i'm wondering, where does it hang exactly and why?

hm, these new bits:

+       /* Assign IRQs statically for legacy devices */
+       hpetp->hp_dev[0].hd_hdwirq = hdp->hd_irq[0];
+       hpetp->hp_dev[1].hd_hdwirq = hdp->hd_irq[1];

seem to be different from where we came from:

-       for (i = 2; i < nrtimers; timer++, i++)
-               hd.hd_irq[i] = (timer->hpet_config & Tn_INT_ROUTE_CNF_MASK) >>
-                       Tn_INT_ROUTE_CNF_SHIFT;
