[PATCH]hpet and rtc max_user_freq predefine in Kconfig

[Ni@m]

I think users should be able to set max_user_freq values for rtc and
hpet during kernel configuration. The default value is set to 1024
with this patch.
The default value of 64 is really too small for modern multimedia apps.
Besides, this patch fixes link on intel hpet spec.
