Here you are committing _all_ timestamp usage to be the "hi-freq"
timestamp required for all CPU - wide perf support.
This increases the amount of non-instruction trace - and my not be
desirable in all cases - especially if cycle counts are live as well.
Perhaps define a new ETM_OPT_FREQ_TS which will switch on TS + trigger
counters, and leave ETM_OPT_TS for standard timestamps.
