x86: hpet: Disable MSI on Lenovo W510
MSI based per cpu timers lose interrupts when intel_idle() is enabled - independent of the c-state. With idle=poll the problem cannot be observed. We have no idea yet, whether this is a W510 specific issue or a general chipset oddity. Blacklist the known problem machine. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
