x86: force enable HPET on (some?) ICH9 boards
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Some consumer ICH9 boards (such as the Abit IP35 Pro) do not provide a BIOS
option for enabling the HPET. The same ICH workaround used for 6,7,8 can be
applied to 9. Here I enable the only PCI id that was visible on my system.

I have confirmed the HPETs work both from userspace and as a clocksource for
the running kernel (2.6.24 here) after applying this patch.

 Force enabled HPET at base address 0xfed00000
 hpet clockevent registered
 hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed00000, IRQs 2, 8, 0, 0
 hpet0: 4 64-bit timers, 14318180 Hz
