- disable mahaf and thus all physical memory mapping or direct port IO
- promise that TSC-based QPC is safe on this system

Windows-specific:
-wQpcTscSafe allow timing via QueryPerformanceCounter despite the fact
that it's using TSC and it may be unsafe. has no effect if
a better timer (i.e. the HPET) is available.
should only be specified if:
- you are sure your system does not engage in
thermal throttling (including STPCLK) OR
- an "RDTSC patch" is installed
this flag is also useful if all other alternatives are worse
than a potentially risky or slightly broken TSC-based QPC.
-wNoMahaf prevent any physical memory mapping or direct port I/O.
this disables all ACPI-related code and thus some of the
timer backends. specify this if problems are observed with
one of the abovementioned subsystems.
