Does oom or the entire system freeze?

/dev/hpet is a userspace interface for application that want to directly
access the HPET device.  No applications (except Jack) want to do that;
they use the standard high-resolution timer functions which internally
use the HPET (or the LAPIC timer), but this is done in the kernel and is
independent of the /dev/hpet interface.
