Linux tells ICH4 users that they can (manually) invoke
"hpet=force" to enable the undocumented ICH-4M HPET.
The HPET becomes available for both clocksource and clockevents.
But as of
ff69f2bba67bd45514923aaedbf40fe351787c59
(acpi: fix of pmtimer overflow that make Cx states time incorrect)
the HPET may be used via clocksource for idle accounting, and
hpet=force on an ICH4 box hangs boot.
It turns out that touching the MMIO HPET withing
the ARB_DIS part of C3 will hang the hardware.
The fix is to simply move the timer access outside
the ARB_DIS region. This is a no-op on modern hardware
because ARB_DIS is no longer used.
