patch to catch non-working hpet

[Nate Lawson]

I need someone to test this code.  You have to have an HPET timer.  It
should detect the case where it's non-working on at least one Acer
system but not break others.  Your system should boot and work normally
with no change in dmesg.  Let me know if it breaks something, thx.
