From 7811fb8f400a3dbfa027d86bb583a31c66fddfc3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Clemens Ladisch Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2005 15:03:36 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] hpet-RTC: cache the comparator register Reads from an HPET register require a round trip to the south bridge and are almost as slow as PCI reads. By caching the last value we've written to the comparator register, we can eliminate all HPET reads from the fast path in the emulated RTC interrupt handler.
