x86/HPET: cache MSI message last written Rather than spending measurable amounts of time reading back the most recently written message, cache it in space previously unused, and thus accelerate the CPU's entering of the intended C-state. hpet_msi_read() ends up being unused after this change, but rather than removing the function, it's being marked "unused" in order - that way it can easily get used again should a new need for it arise.
