Hello, Adam:
	Today I get a small progress about ipet driver for L4/Fiasco because 
the hpet driver i mentioned before can't output the correct value and all
fields of hpet driver are 0xFFFFFFFF. Today i find that should be caused by 
the Intel buggy chipesets (ICH7 Family) and i also find some code could 
fixed it from Linux kernel code that is located in the ich_force_enable_hpet() 
of  arch/x86/kernel/quirks.c.
	The solution is like this:
	I added two more IO resources named RCBA and HPET in the 
l4io/server/src/ static_cfg_x86.c as following:
static l4io_desc_device_t
rcba = { "RCBA", 1, { { L4IO_RESOURCE_MEM, 0xfed1c000, 0xfed1ffff } } };
static l4io_desc_device_t
hpet = {"HPET", 1, { { L4IO_RESOURCE_MEM, 0xfed00000, 0xfed003ff } } };
	And then i get the rcba device in the local and do the same behaviour
as the ich_force_enable_hpet() does in the arch/x86/kernel/quirks.c and then
get the hpet device in the local space.  This time it could work and display 
there are 3 timers before it is 16 (F).
	From the Linux kernel code this problem should be in the Intel Chipsets
ICH6, ICH7, ICH8, ICH9 and ICH10. But luckily the linux has fixed this problem 
otherwise i can't get it work.
	Thanks.
