Please do explain.. That FSB thing basically means MSI. But there's only
a single NMI vector. How do we know this NMI came from the HPET?

So you add _2_ HPET reads for every single NMI that gets triggered...
and IIRC HPET reads are _sllooooowwwwww_.

So if I read this right, when in FSB/MSI mode, we'll basically _always_
claim every single NMI as handled?

That's broken.
