[RFC PATCH v4 06/21] x86/hpet: Configure the timer used by the hardlockup detector

Implement the initial configuration of the timer to be used by the
hardlockup detector. Return a data structure with a description of the
timer; this information is subsequently used by the hardlockup detector.

Only provide the timer if it supports Front Side Bus interrupt delivery.
This condition greatly simplifies the implementation of the detector.
Specifically, it helps to avoid the complexities of routing the interrupt
via the IO-APIC (e.g., potential race conditions that arise from re-
programming the IO-APIC in NMI context).
