Subject: [PATCH] HPET: stop soliciting hpet=force users on ICH4M
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2009 19:19:42 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.00.0904231918510.15843@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.LFD.2.00.0904231917030.15843@localhost.localdomain>
From: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
The HPET in the ICH4M is not documented in the data sheet
because it was not officially validated.
While it is fine for hackers to continue to use "hpet=force"
to enable the hardware that they have, it is not prudent to
solicit additional "hpet=force" users on this hardware.
