hpet_reserve_platform_timers() will give the HPET char driver a data
structure which specifies which drivers are reserved. In this manner,
they cannot be used by applications via file opens. The timer used by
the hardlockup detector should be marked as reserved.

Also, hpet_msi_capability_lookup() populates another data structure
which is used when obtaining an unused timer for a HPET clock event.
The timer used by the hardlockup detector should not be included in such
data structure.

Is this the explanation you would like to see? If yes, I will include it
in the changelog.

Thanks and BR,
Ricardo
