IIRC, I am not sure that the pnp layer was able to pass the 64 bits memory adress for hpet correctly. But it would be nice if it works.


You're right, this was broken. But I've been pushing a PNPACPI
patch to fix this.


Yes but is ACPI_RSTYPE_ADDRESS64 possible on 32 bit machine ?
In this case your patch won't work as res->mem_resource[i].start and res->mem_resource[i].end are unsigned long, and 64 bit value won't fit.
