Hi Dan, Keir, Kevin:

Yes, I have not had the time to work on the hpet resubmission.
I hope to be able to do so soon.

Dan, the no_fast_ticks policy is one of the things that made
our hpet implementation work well.

Keir, thanks for doing the layering work. When I get back to working
on this I'll start with what you have and characterize it.
Then go from there.

-Dave
