[PATCH] enable readback to get HPET working on ATI SB4x00, kernel2.6.35_rc5

[Stephan Wolf]

 After commit 30a564be9d9554c168a654eddc2165869cc0d7bf 
"x86, hpet: Restrict read back to affected ATI chipsets" hpet did not 
work anymore on HP nx6325. The machine hangs on booting until a 
keystroke was taken. After a short time machine hangs again until next 
keystroke. Applying the following patch solves the issue for me.
