While Intel's spec is not that clear here, latest changes to Linux' HPET
code (commit c23e253e67c9d8a91a0ffa33c1f571a17f0a2403, "x86: hpet: stop
HPET_COUNTER when programming periodic mode") strongly suggest that
HPET_TN_SETVAL rather means: Set _both_ the comparator value and
register.
With this patch applied, I'm again able to boot 2.6.30-rc kernels as
they no longer panic like this (which was due to the comparator
register remaining 0):

I discovered a bug in the hpet code that caused Windows to boot without
hpet. The config mask I was using was preventing the guest from placing
the hpet into 32 bit mode.

This patch adds HPET emulation. It can be disabled with -disable-hpet. An hpet
provides a more finely granular clocksource than otherwise available on PC.
This means that latency-dependent applications (e.g. multimedia) will generally
be smoother when using the HPET.
