HPET to steal IRQ0 from i8254 and IRQ8 from RTC timers. It can be suitable for HPETs without FSB interrupts support, as it gives them two unshared IRQs. It allows them to provide one per-CPU event timer on dual-CPU system, that should be suitable for further tickless kernels. To enable it, such lines may be added to /boot/loader.conf: hint.atrtc.0.clock=0 hint.attimer.0.clock=0 hint.hpet.0.legacy_route=1 |
