High Precision Event Timer Driver for Linux

The High Precision Event Timer (HPET) hardware follows a specification
by Intel and Microsoft which can be found at

http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec_1.pdf
by Intel and Microsoft, revision 1.

Each HPET has one fixed-rate counter (at 10+ MHz, hence "High Precision")
and up to 32 comparators. Normally three or more comparators are provided,
