[PATCH] x86: Force enable HPET for CK804 (nForce 4) chipsets

From: Carlos Corbacho
Date: Fri Oct 19 2007 - 13:51:05 EST


From: Carlos Corbacho <cathectic@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch adds a quirk from LinuxBIOS to force enable HPET on
the nVidia CK804 (nForce 4) chipset.

This quirk can very likely support more than just nForce 4
(LinuxBIOS use the same code for nForce 5), and possibly nForce 3,
but I don't have those chipsets, so cannot add and test them.

Tested on an Abit KN9 (CK804).

Thomas,

I've rewritten the code based on what LinuxBIOS does, since they have a better idea
of how to drive the HPET than I do. I've tested this code, and it's also working
fine here on my system.
