Package: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686
Version: 2.6.24-4
Severity: wishlist

Current Linux includes support for force-enabling the High Performance
Event Timer (HPET) on chipsets which do not advertise it in
documentation or which disable it in BIOS, such as the ICH4 chipset
used on many laptops.  Using the HPET can significantly reduce power
usage, in combination with nohz and C-states.

However, Linux will only force-enable the HPET if the kernel command
line includes hpet=force.  Please consider enabling hpet=force by
default, so that a default installation saves the extra power without
needing to edit bootloader configuration.  All information I have seen
on this option via LKML suggests that it only exists because
force-enabling the HPET on many chipsets involves undocumented
operations; however, as far as I can tell, force-enabling the HPET
only happens on a whitelist of chipsets known to work.

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
