Subject: arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c: make the "hpet: compare register read back failed" warning conditional on the hpet=verbose boot option
From: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com>

A considerable number of people are hitting this warning and are raising
"bug" reports.  We don't seem to be getting much benefit from the warning,
so let's hide it unless hpet-verbose.
