>Description:
I recently made some tests with ACPI on my Tyan S2885 workstation and noticed
that the HPET (High Precision Event Timer) timer PNP0103 is not listed in
acpidevs list.

njoly@lanfeust [~]> dmesg|grep PNP0103
PNP0103 at acpi0 not configured

Specifications from Intel:

>How-To-Repeat:
Boot an kernel with ACPI+ACPIVERBOSE enabled on a Tyan Thunder S2885.
