+ * Check whether the system supports PC10. If so force disable HPET as that

+ * of the following into account:
+ *
+ *	- ACPI tables
+ *	- Enablement of intel_idle
+ *	- Command line arguments which limit intel_idle C-state support
+ *
+ * That's perfectly fine. HPET is a piece of hardware designed by committee
+ * and the only reasons why it is still in use on modern systems is the
+ * fact that it is impossible to reliably query TSC and CPU frequency via
+ * CPUID or firmware.
+ *
+ * If HPET is functional it is useful for calibrating TSC, but this can be
+ * done via PMTIMER as well which seems to be the last remaining timer on
+ * X86/INTEL platforms that has not been completely wreckaged by feature
+ * creep.
+ *
+ * In theory HPET support should be removed altogether, but there are older
+ * systems out there which depend on it because TSC and APIC timer are
+ * dysfunctional in deeper C-states.
+ *
+ * It's only 20 years now that hardware people have been asked to provide
+ * reliable and discoverable facilities which can be used for timekeeping
+ * and per CPU timer interrupts.
+ *
+ * The probability that this problem is going to be solved in the
+ * forseeable future is close to zero, so the kernel has to be cluttered
+ * with heuristics to keep up with the ever growing amount of hardware and
+ * firmware trainwrecks. Hopefully some day hardware people will understand
+ * that the approach of "This can be fixed in software" is not sustainable.
