I kept them here because, similar functions like hpet_set_alarm_time() were
already there. So, if you suggest that I should have an additional cleanup patch
first, which moves existing #ifdef block to inlcude/linux/hpet.h and this
patch adds it's inline in linux/hpet.h, then may be I can take that. But not
sure if there is something more to be done which will help the MAINTAINER to
take it.
