Disable interrupts while testing the timer.  Not doing this unnecessarily
added an arbitrary delay to our readings, causing us to use the ACPI-safe
read method when not necessary.  Submitted by: bde

Old:
ACPI timer looks GOOD min = 3, max = 5, width = 2
ACPI timer looks BAD  min = 3, max = 19, width = 16
ACPI timer looks GOOD min = 3, max = 5, width = 2
ACPI timer looks GOOD min = 3, max = 5, width = 2
ACPI timer looks GOOD min = 3, max = 5, width = 2
ACPI timer looks GOOD min = 3, max = 4, width = 1
ACPI timer looks GOOD min = 3, max = 5, width = 2
ACPI timer looks BAD  min = 3, max = 19, width = 16
ACPI timer looks GOOD min = 3, max = 5, width = 2

New:

ACPI timer looks GOOD min = 3, max = 4, width = 1

ACPI timer looks GOOD min = 3, max = 4, width = 1
ACPI timer looks GOOD min = 3, max = 4, width = 1
ACPI timer looks GOOD min = 3, max = 4, width = 1
ACPI timer looks GOOD min = 3, max = 4, width = 1

Also, reduce unnecesary overhead in ACPI-fast by remove the barrier for
reads.  The timer in the ACPI-fast case is known to increase monotonically
so there is no need to serialize access to it.
