After programming the HPET, we do a readback as a workaround for
ATI/SBx00 chipsets as a synchronization. Unfortunately this triggers
an erratum in newer ICH chipsets (ICH9+) where reading the comparator
immediately after the write returns the old value. Furthermore, as
always, I/O reads are bad for performance.
Therefore, restrict the readback to the chipsets that need it, or, for
debugging purposes, when we are running with hpet=verbose.

HPET MSI on platforms with ATI SB700/SB800 as they seem to have some
side-effects on floppy DMA. Do not use HPET MSI on such platforms.
Original problem report from Mark Hounschell
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0912.2/01118.html
[ This patch needs to go to stable as well. But, there are some
conflicts that prevents the patch from going as is. I can
rebase/resubmit to stable once the patch goes upstream.
hpa: still Cc:'ing stable@ as an FYI. ]

On 64-bits, using unsigned long when unsigned int suffices
needlessly creates larger code (due to the need for REX
prefixes), and most of the logic in hpet.c really doesn't need
64-bit operations.
At once this avoids the need for a couple of type casts.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:
a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
