Subject[09/68] x86, hpet: Disable per-cpu hpet timer if ARAT is supported
2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com>

commit 39fe05e58c5e448601ce46e6b03900d5bf31c4b0 upstream.

If CPU support always running local APIC timer, per-cpu hpet
timer could be disabled, which is useless and wasteful in such
case. Let's leave the timers to others.

The effect is that we reserve less timers.
