Eew. No, we really can do without random new quirk interfaces.

Thinking more about it, this is really not necessary.
@hpa: You asked whether this might affect any other e6xx devices.
According to the atom e6xx-series datasheet the HPET is non optional
and always memory mapped to 0xfed00000. I don't see how that would
harm any machine which has the hpet proper advertised via ACPI.
