Actually, the commit to head was just one part of this patch and more inspired 
by this patch rather than from the PR.  We still don't support the 
comparators in HPETs at all, so I'd like to leave this PR open in case we 
reuse some of this code when the HPET driver does eventually grow support for 
comparators (probably to be used by the kernel rather than userland however).
