    kernel - Add LAPIC timer C1E test skip for AWS
    
    * AWS's new EPYC instances (such as m5ad.large) will general-protect
      fault on the MSR we use to test lapic C1E.  For now introduce a
      tunable that allows this test to be turned off.
    
    * AWS instances should put 'hw.lapic_timer_c1e_test=0' in
      /boot/loader.conf
    
    * Allows DFly to boot on AWS as of ami-027940491fc788325 on us-east
      N. Virginia.
