Venki Pallipadi d54bd57d65 x86: HPET force enable o ICH7 and later
Force detect and/or enable HPET on ICH chipsets.  This patch just handles the
detection part and following patches use this information.  Adds a function to
repeat the force enabling during resume time.

Using HPET this way, instead of PIT increases the time CPUs can reside in
C-state when system is totally idle.  On my test system with Core 2 Duo,
average C-state residency goes up from ~20mS to ~80mS.

[ Build fixed from Andrew Morton ]
