    Hide acpi_timer_test behind a tunable
    
    When hw.acpi.timer_test_enabled is set to 0, this makes acpi_timer_test
    return 1 without actually testing the ACPI timer; this results in the
    ACPI-fast timecounter always being used rather than potentially using
    ACPI-safe.
    
    The ACPI timer testing was introduced in 2002 as a workaround for
    errata in Pentium II and Pentium III chipsets, and is unlikely to be
    needed in 2021.
    
    While I'm here, add TSENTER/TSEXIT to make it easier to see the time
    spent on the test (if it is enabled).
