I didn't know that. Under what conditions is it unreliable?

I've attached a second attempt at this patch. It seems that the IRQ is
never shared anyway, so I followed your suggestion and removed
IRQF_SHARED. My machine seems to be running fine.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] HPET: Enter hpet_interrupt_handler with interrupts disabled

Some functions that may be called from this handler require that
interrupts are disabled. Also, combining IRQF_DISABLED and
IRQF_SHARED does not reliably disable interrupts in a handler, so
remove IRQF_SHARED from the irq flags (this irq is not shared anyway).
