Nils Carlson ae21cf9248 hpet: hpet driver periodic timer setup bug fixes 
The periodic interrupt from drivers/char/hpet.c does not work correctly,
both when using the periodic capability of the hardware and while
emulating the periodic interrupt (when hardware does not support periodic
mode).

With timers capable of periodic interrupts, the comparator field is first
set with the period value followed by set of hidden accumulator, which has
the side effect of overwriting the comparator value.  This results in
wrong periodicity for the interrupts.  For, periodic interrupts to work,
following steps are necessary, in that order.

* Set config with Tn_VAL_SET_CNF bit

* Write to hidden accumulator, the value written is the time when the
  first interrupt should be generated

* Write compartor with period interval for subsequent interrupts
  (http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec_1.pdf )

When emulating periodic timer with timers not capable of periodic
interrupt, driver is adding the period to counter value instead of
comparator value, which causes slow drift when using this emulation.

Also, driver seems to add hpetp->hp_delta both while setting up periodic
interrupt and while emulating periodic interrupts with timers not capable
of doing periodic interrupts.  This hp_delta will result in slower than
expected interrupt rate and should not be used while setting the interval.
