I agree. We should just make the damn timers be added at the right point.

Not quite -- x86-64 did HPET long before i386; the only stuff cowed
was the character driver support code. But the core HPET cod

Confirmed that suspend/resume disk/ram works on X60s with
CONFIG_HPET_TIMER=y and CONFIG_NO_HZ unset.

at least wrt. suspend/resume it should be fine, because in
arch/x86_64/kernel/time.c it does this upon resume:
static int timer_resume(struct sys_device *dev)
{
if (hpet_address)
update: i've tested Maxim's v2 patch on both a hpet-capable and a
hpet-less system, and it works fine here.
on a dual-core hpet-capable system, running a NO_HZ+!HIGH_RES_TIMERS
