I think you do, since cpuidle_disable_deep_cstate() is called from
handle_rtc_once(), which gets set up as a hook by hpet_broadcast_init(),
which only gets that far If it has managed to initialise an HPET.

You could try commenting out function disable_pit_irq() and its __initcall()
invocation. This should cause fallback to pit_broadcast mode. It's a
completely different non-HPET-related approach that you could try.
