Comment(by jackburton):
HPET support is in there, at least for one-shot timers (used by the
scheduler). In the current form, though, the timer infrastructure isn't
very flexible, and a timer type can only be used for everything or for
nothing; best would be having different timers used for different things,
i.e. HPET for timekeeping, LAPIC for one-shot timers, etc. depending on
the availability and on the quirks of the hardware
IOW we should write a full featured timer abstraction layer.
