Before the fix: Linux cannot get timer interrupts on INT0, goes for ACPI
timer.

What ACPI timer? I don't think we have any fallback for int 0.
Sorry, Mea Culpa, I should have written APIC timer.

Not sure what you mean with INT2. Pin2 on ioapic 0 perhaps?
Yes. PIN2 on IOAPIC #0.

After the fix : Works fine. This is according to hpet spec.

On what exact motherboard was that?
SunFire X4600

To handle case 3, I removed all references to acpi_hpet_lrr, explained
this case in the code and decided to solely rely on the command line
parameter for LRR capability. Rational for this approach is ,

This means the systems which you said fixes this would need the command
line parameter to work?
I feel I do not make things clear enough.
The command line parameter can be avoided entirely if majority of the
BIOSes implement LRR routing correctly. I would rewrite the patch to avoid

But they don't.

cmdline parameter and according to Andrew Morton's suggestions.

What was that suggestion again? (sorry can't find it)

Anyways the goal is really to just work everywhere without command line
parameters. Can we somehow detect the SunFire condition and only enable
it there?

needs this anyways)
