    [PATCH] x86-64: Try multiple timer variants in check_timer · b0268726
    Andi Kleen authored
    Instead of adding all kinds of more quirks try various timer
    routing variants in check_timer.
    
    In particular this tries to handle quirks from:
    - Nvidia NF2-4 reference BIOS: wrong timer override
    - Asus: Wrong timer override but no HPET table
    - ATI: require timer disabled in 8259
    - Some boards: require timer enabled in 8259
    
    We just try many of the the known variants in the hopefully right order
    in check_timer.
    
    Trying pin 0/2 on Nvidia suggested by Tim Hockin.
    
    TBD Experimental. Needs a lot of testing
