[globally disable the check with a sysctl]

To have this at boot time we have to set it in loader.conf, but then we
not only do not check for viapm, we also don't check for every user of
this API... I haven't followed the entire discussion, but what happened
to the proposal to just disable the test for known bad hardware?

Bye,
Alexander.
