Subject: Support HPET with a single timer for system time
Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2005 11:47:26 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.58.0503071146070.7840@server.graphe.net> (raw)
This patch removes the check for the existence of multiple HPET timers.
It allows the use of HPET with only a single timer for system time if
HPET_EMULATE_RTC is not set.
