    This patch fixes a kernel panic during boot that occurs on NVIDIA platforms
    that have HPET enabled.
    
    When HPET is enabled, the standard timer IRQ is routed to IOAPIC pin 2 and is
    advertised as such in the ACPI APIC table - but an earlier workaround in the
    kernel was ignoring this override.  The fix is to honor timer IRQ overrides
    from ACPI when HPET is detected on an NVIDIA platform.
