(Resend with CC's fixed)
Back in April, Mikko posted a patch to force enable the HPET on some nVidia
chipsets:
v2:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/16/46
v3:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/17/354
What would need to be done to this patch to get it into x86 now (besides i386/
x86_64 -> x86 conversion), given that:
A) There is now a force_hpet boot parameter in the x86 tree (mm branch)
(rather than relying on the solution in the earlier patches of a config
option).
B) On the other hand, the force-quirk's are going into quirks.c, whilst
Mikko's patch requires PCI scanning in early_quirks.c (could the PCI scanning
be done in early_quirks.c and the actual HPET enabling handled in quirks.c
later - or if not, could this early quirk play be made to obey the force_hpet
boot option)?
