Grr, I don't know why I am discussing with stubborn and/or arrogant devs like
you seem to be. But I actually did what you wanted and as *expected* - as I
said I understand that trivial piece of code you posted - your patch fails
here for my nforce2:
cat /proc/interrupts
CPU0
0: 832 XT-PIC-XT timer <---------------- seeing this?
1: 10 IO-APIC-edge i8042
8: 2 IO-APIC-edge rtc
9: 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi acpi
12: 84 IO-APIC-edge i8042
14: 38 IO-APIC-edge ide0
16: 184026 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth0
17: 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi Technisat/B2C2 FlexCop II/IIb/III Digital
TV PCI Driver
18: 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi NVidia nForce2
19: 12460 IO-APIC-fasteoi nvidia
NMI: 0 Non-maskable interrupts
LOC: 74695 Local timer interrupts
TRM: 0 Thermal event interrupts
SPU: 0 Spurious interrupts
ERR: 0
MIS: 0
And no, I won't test it on my MCP51 as I *know* what happens: As soon as I
disable hpet, the quirk gets triggered and will lock up my system.
Now stop wasting my time and do your homework!

Then talk to Len Brown, maybe he is able to make you understand.

Actually I don't care anymore. The last time you also didn't really cared for
what I said about your way of quirking the nforce boards.
I know how to make the kernel behave in this matter, it is just a pity for
other users, who don't know...
Good luck!
