[PATCH] x86_64: Explain why HPET T0_CMP register is written twice
After writing the CFG register, the first value written to the T0_CMP
register is the value at which next interrupt should be triggered, every
value after that sets the period of the interrupt. For that reason, the code
needs to write the value twice - to set both the phase and period.
[AK: I had already figured it out by myself, but it's still useful
to have a comment for this.]
