It has to be enabled by the kernel configuration and your motherboard
must provide the high resolution timers.

$ cat config-$(uname -r) | grep CONFIG_HPET_TIMER
CONFIG_HPET_TIMER=y

If it isn't enabled you need to enable some additional entries for hpet,
the easiest way to do this, is to copy the generic's config, when
building the kernel rt and just change the rt settings.
