[PATCH] x86: hpet: Don't default CONFIG_HPET_TIMER to be y for X86_64

From: Feng Tang
Date: Thu Mar 27 2014 - 03:46:12 EST


On many new phone/tablet platforms like Baytrail/Merrifield etc,
the HPET are either defeatured or has some problem to be used
as a reliable timer. As these platforms also have X86_64, we
should not make HPET_TIMER default y for all X86_64.
