I may have to ask for some debugging help here - obviously I haven't
seen this on any of my systems, and looking at the code I also fail to
see how this can happen: handle_hpet_broadcast() gets installed into
hpet_events->event_handler only after successful allocation of
hpet_events->cpumask (we're talking about the num_hpets_used == 0
case here, which again only after the allocation sets HPET_EVT_LEGACY,
while hpet_legacy_irq_tick() doesn't allow hpet_events->event_handler
to be called without that flag set). So I'm confused and can't immediately
help.

They're really pretty similar.
