Subject: [PATCH] disable per-cpu hpet timer if ARAT is supported
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2009 11:16:12 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090812031612.GA10062@sli10-desk.sh.intel.com> (raw)
If CPU support always running local APIC timer, per-cpu hpet timer could be
disabled, which is useless and wasteful in such case. Let's leave the timers
to others.
Impact: should have no impact except reserving less timers.
