That sounds like the right solution for now, yes. Rather than make the readback quirk depend on one particular SMBUS revision, make it happen unconditionally for an AMD northbridge (or is the HPET in the SB? I forget - somebody who knows the details and can test it on a machine or two should do the actual patch).
