Re: [PATCH] hpet: do not overwrite properties on post_load

This patch was missed :-) which could free HPETState.flags from a
BqlCell.

I have this question since I find it seems no way to set "msi" and
"timers" properties by user, and no code sets them.

    DEFINE_PROP_UINT8("timers", HPETState, num_timers, HPET_MIN_TIMERS),
    DEFINE_PROP_BIT("msi", HPETState, flags, HPET_MSI_SUPPORT, false),

Thanks,
