+ * That works fine on those ATI chipsets, but on newer Intel
+ * chipsets (ICH9...) this triggers due to an erratum: Reading
+ * the comparator immediately following a write is returning

+ *
+ * We restrict the read back to the affected ATI chipsets (set
+ * by quirks) and also run it with hpet=verbose for debugging
