hpet0 versus hpet2

hpet0 versus hpet2

[Raz]

Hey Rt folks

I performed a benchmark that compares the jitter of hpet2 to hpet0.
hpet0 is reserved to the kernel use ( hpet_reserve_timer(&hd, 0).
and hd.hd_irq[0] = HPET_LEGACY_8254; in arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c).
I removed these two lines.
The bellow is a histogram compares the default hpet2 to hpet0 in atom D525.
The test performed is a simple udp sender, it sends a single udp
packet each 1ms interval.
Time stamping were made by Beckhoff ET2000 ,so that the timestamps
taken by a reliable and accurate tool.
Question is whether it is possible to push a new kernel boot command
line option that gives
the user hpet0 ?
