 Thanks for testing the patch, but that is not so interesting from =
 practical side. What I would try to do after that is switch HPET into =
 legacy_route mode that was known to work on previous AMDs:
 > hint.hpet.0.legacy_route=3D1
 > hint.attimer.0.clock=3D0
 > hint.atrtc.0.clock=3D0
 
 After patching the kernel, I can now boot without tunables. Should I try =
 to set those values on the patched or unpatched kernel?
 
 Thanks,
