Please correct me if I'm wrong (I don't have NDA'd Intel datasheets, I can only check the public ones), but I think the enable_hpet() in the ICH7 code will not work for ICH7. It should work for ICH4/ICH5 or so, but ICH7 requires a completely different init involving RCBA, offset 0x3404, it seems.
Thus, drop the non-working code, add a TODO until somebody writes the proper code for ICH7. Maybe I'll do that if nobody beats me to it, but it may take a while.
