hm, why?
My general approach to __KERNEL__ fixes is to not support new includers of
kernel headers but to accept patches which fix up existing applications of
__KERNEL__.
It's basically a compromise between the
dont-include-kernel-headers-from-userspace fundamentalists and the
but-i-want-my-stuff-to-work pragmatists ;)
But hpet.h never had __KERNEL__, so there's no regression here.
That being said, it looks like a sensible change - let's see if we can
sneak it in without the fundies noticing.
oops.
