By default there's already no use for this when we run in shim mode. Plus there may also be a need to suppress the probing in case of issues with it. Before introducing further port alias probing, introduce a command line option allowing to bypass it, default it to on when in shim mode, and gate RTC/CMOS port alias probing on it.
