From: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>
Commit e1de4c196a2e ("x86/timer: Fix boot on Intel systems using ITSSPRC
static PIT clock gating") was reported to cause boot failures on certain
AMD Ryzen systems.
Refine the fix to do nothing in the default case, and only attempt to
configure legacy replacement mode if IRQ0 is found to not be working.
In addition, introduce a "hpet" command line option so this heuristic
can be overridden. Since it makes little sense to introduce just
"hpet=legacy-replacement", also allow for a boolean argument as well as
"broadcast" to replace the separate "hpetbroadcast" option.

When the hmp-unsafe option is disabled (default), CPUs that are not
identical to the boot CPU will be parked and not used by Xen.
+### hpet (x86)
+ = List of [ <bool> | broadcast=<bool> | legacy-replacement=<bool> ]
+
+ Applicability: x86
+
+Controls Xen's use of the system's High Precision Event Timer. By default,
+Xen will use an HPET when available and not subject to errata. Use of the
+HPET can be disabled by specifying `hpet=0`.
+
+ * The `broadcast` boolean is disabled by default, but forces Xen to keep
+ using the broadcast for CPUs in deep C-states even when an RTC interrupt is
+ enabled. This then also affects raising of the RTC interrupt.
+
+ * The `legacy-replacement` boolean allows for control over whether Legacy
+ Replacement mode is enabled.
+
+ Legacy Replacement mode is intended for hardware which does not have an
+ 8025 PIT, and allows the HPET to be configured into a compatible mode.
+ Intel chipsets from Skylake/ApolloLake onwards can turn the PIT off for
+ power saving reasons, and there is no platform-agnostic mechanism for
+ discovering this.
+
+ By default, Xen will not change hardware configuration, unless the PIT
+ appears to be absent, at which point Xen will try to enable Legacy
+ Replacement mode before falling back to pre-IO-APIC interrupt routing
+ options.
+
+ This behaviour can be inhibited by specifying `legacy-replacement=0`.
+ Alternatively, this mode can be enabled unconditionally (if available) by
+ specifying `legacy-replacement=1`.
+
### hpetbroadcast (x86)
> `= <boolean>`
+Deprecated alternative of `hpet=broadcast`.
