   770   * If multiple CPUs are trying to access the HPET counter at the same 
time,
   771   * we don't actually need to read the counter multiple times. Instead, 
the
   772   * other CPUs can use the counter value read by the first CPU in the 
group.
   773   *
   774   * A sequence number whose lsb is a lock bit is used to control which 
CPU
   775   * has the right to read the HPET counter directly and which CPUs are 
going
   776   * to get the indirect value read by the lock holder. For the later 
group,
   777   * if the sequence number differs from the expected locked value, they
   778   * can assume that the saved HPET value is up-to-date and return it.
