x86: print info about available HPET quirk

Browse source

We have a lot of HPET quirks available which might force enable HPET
even when the BIOS does not enable it. Some of those quirks depend on
the command line option "hpet=force".

Andrew pointed out that hoping that the user will find out about this
boot option is not really helpful.

Emit a kernel info which informs the user about the "hpet=force" boot
option when we enter a quirk which depends on this option and the user
did not provide it.
