alpha: Allow HZ to be configured

Browse Source 
With the 1024Hz default, we spend 50% of QEMU emulation
processing timer interrupts.

---help---
The frequency at which timer interrupts occur. A high frequency
minimizes latency, whereas a low frequency minimizes overhead of
process accounting. The later effect is especially significant
when being run under QEMU.
Note that some Alpha hardware cannot change the interrupt frequency
of the timer. If unsure, say 1024 (or 1200 for Rawhide).
