From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2007 02:41:50 +0000 (-0500) Subject: x86: add hpet sanity checks X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24-rc4~114^2~4 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f4df73c2914a49bf6a55896aaecb0563c955e167;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git x86: add hpet sanity checks Some BIOSes advertise HPET at 0x0. We really do no want to allocate a resource there. Check for it and leave early. Other BIOSes tell us the HPET is at 0xfed0000000000000 instead of 0xfed00000. Add a check and fix it up with a warning on user request.
