applied to x86.git for more testing, thanks Carlos.

since you seem to be interested in HPET topics, what do you think about 
the patch below from akpm? It had a build failure with this config:

Should already be available via the hpet.h inclusion.

Could go further, by defining the do-nothing stub in hpet.h as well, perhaps.
