x86, hpet: Restrict read back to affected ATI chipsets
After programming the HPET, we do a readback as a workaround for
ATI/SBx00 chipsets as a synchronization. Unfortunately this triggers
an erratum in newer ICH chipsets (ICH9+) where reading the comparator
immediately after the write returns the old value. Furthermore, as
always, I/O reads are bad for performance.
Therefore, restrict the readback to the chipsets that need it, or, for
debugging purposes, when we are running with hpet=verbose.
