Subject: HPET enabled in BIOS, not presented as available_clocksource --
 config, kernel code, &/or BIOS?

I run kernel 4.11.0-4 on a Supermicro X10SAT motherboard.

HPET's enabled in BIOS, and apparently firmware table data is available.

But, hpet is not an available_clocksource.

Where's this need to be addressed/fixed?  In my config, in kernel code, &/or in BIOS?
