/dev/hpet is a userspace interface for application that want to directly
access the HPET device. No applications (except Jack) want to do that;
they use the standard high-resolution timer functions which internally
use the HPET (or the LAPIC timer), but this is done in the kernel and is
independent of the /dev/hpet interface.

Does oom or the entire system freeze?
Haven't
tried this yet since I'm not sure it makes sense:
chgrp audio /dev/hpet
So even when hpet is available, hrtimer is the one to use?
chgrp audio /dev/hpet
... will make hpet usable for the group audio. <--?
