The bug report is bogus. ARM has no CONFIG_HPET_TIMER.
Plus we've just merged a fix for NO_HZ on PXA platforms due to an utterly broken one-shot implementation. So chances are this problem is now fixed.
However, I object strongly to Andrew's responses to these bugs. He's completely out of line.
Given the wide range of ARM platforms today, it is utterly idiotic to expect a single person to be able to provide responses for all ARM bugs. I for one wish I'd never *VOLUNTEERED* to be a part of the kernel bugzilla, and really *WISH* I could pull out of that function.
