[PATCH] kexec: reenable HPET before kexec

Hi, I've faced problem:
I have two x86_64 kernels with HPET enabled:
kernel 1 - with PM enabled,
kernel 2 - with PM disabled.
When I execute kernel 2 from kernel 1 on pentiumd based PC, kernel 2 hangs
during boot:

apic=debug nmi_watchdog=0 console=ttyS0

+ kexec -e

-------------------------------- kernel hangs here --------------------------

Root case:
When kernel 1 switches to Local APIC timer It disables HPET.
When kernel 1 executes kernel 2, HPET isn't reenabled early during boot, because
PM and ACPI is disabled and kernel 2 doesn't search for HPET in ACPI tables.
HPET is disabled, so kernel enables PIT timer, but it doesn't work on pentiumd
(don't know why).
HPET is disabled, PIT isn't work - IRQ0 isn't triggered jiffies isn't
incremented so kernel hangs in calibrate_delay().

How solved:
I reenable HPET timer in machine_kexec() before switching to kernel 2.

Also on some machines I can reproduce bug with i386 kernel from kernel.org, so
I i386 kernel might be fixed too, so I'm adding lkml to cc. Thanks.

Patch against patch-2.6.23-rc2-rt2.
