Some consumer ICH9 boards (such as the Abit IP35 Pro) do not provide a BIOS
option for enabling the HPET. The same ICH workaround used for 6,7,8 can be
applied to 9. Here I enable the only PCI id that was visible on my system.
I have confirmed the HPETs work both from userspace and as a clocksource for
the running kernel (2.6.24 here) after applying this patch.

Add support to force_hpet for all known MCP55 (nForce 5) chipset
LPC bridges.
These are the untested nForce 5 chips (taken from Mikko's original
patch, and checked against pci.ids).

This patch adds a quirk from LinuxBIOS to force enable HPET on
the nVidia CK804 (nForce 4) chipset.
This quirk can very likely support more than just nForce 4
(LinuxBIOS use the same code for nForce 5), and possibly nForce 3,
but I don't have those chipsets, so cannot add and test them.
Tested on an Abit KN9 (CK804).

ICH3 and ICH4 have undocumented HPET capabilities. This patch enables
HPET for platforms based around these ICHs.
Tested on various ICH3 and ICH4 platforms.
Because HPET is not officially documented for ICH3/4 and may not have
been validated by chipset folks, we're on thin ice here. I'd recommend
testing this patch in -hrt or -mm for a while and wait for
success/failure reports before feeding it upstream.
tglx: depends on the force_hpet command line option !

This patch adds quirks to force enable HPET on Via VT8235 and
VT8237 chipsets. The datasheet for 8237 documents HPET
functionality (although wrongly) whereas HPET is undocumented
for 8235.
Tested on A7V880 (8237) and K7VT4A+ (8235) boards.
tglx: depends on the force_hept commandline option

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.
