Question: are we at a point where the TSC-frequency reported by ACPI
is more precise than our own ad-hoc calibrations ?

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.

Not at all. It may be a lot cheaper for us to just use the
value from the ACPI than to calibrate. Only in the increasingly
rare case where TSC is used for timecounter AND the system isn't
using NTP is the precise frequency really interesting.
