failsafe mechanism to HPET clock calibration Provide a failsafe mechanism to avoid kernel spinning forever at read_hpet_tsc during early kernel bootup. This failsafe mechanism was originally introduced in commit 2f7a2a79c3ebb44f8b1b7d9b4fd3a650eb69e544, but looks like the hpet split from time.c lost it again.
