This is a chipset erratum. Thomas: You mentioned we can retain this check only for known-buggy and hpet debug kind of options. But here is the simple workaround patch for this particular erratum. Some chipsets have a erratum due to which read immediately following a write of HPET comparator returns old comparator value instead of most recently written value. Erratum 15 in "Intel I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Specification Update" (http://www.intel.com/assets/pdf/specupdate/316973.pdf) Workaround for the errata is to read the comparator twice if the first one fails.
