x86: HPET force enable o ICH7 and later
Force detect and/or enable HPET on ICH chipsets. This patch just handles the
detection part and following patches use this information. Adds a function to
repeat the force enabling during resume time.
Using HPET this way, instead of PIT increases the time CPUs can reside in
C-state when system is totally idle. On my test system with Core 2 Duo,
average C-state residency goes up from ~20mS to ~80mS.
[ Build fixed from Andrew Morton ]
