Oh. That's why the volatiles are there.

+static int
+hpet_release (struct inode *inode, struct file *file)
+{
+ struct hpet_dev *devp;
+ volatile struct hpet_timer *timer;
+
+ devp = file->private_data;
+ timer = devp->hd_timer;
+
+ spin_lock_irq(&hpet_lock);
+
+ timer->hpet_config &= ~Tn_INT_ENB_CNF_MASK;

local variable `timer' points at hardware.

Methinks this all should be converted to readl and friends, no?
