There is:
http://www.tglx.de/projects/hrtimers/2.6.22-rc4/broken-out/hpet-force-enable-on-ich34.patch
there is another suspicious name, but if i get it right it is detection
only:
http://www.tglx.de/projects/hrtimers/2.6.22-rc4/broken-out/hpet_ich_force_enable_46.patch

Not that it helped here,
something changed since -hrt2,
but I've still no clue what it is.

Best, Andre
