I suspect bisecting won't help too much, as I've reworked a good chunk
of the generic rtc code in 2.6.38, so its not likely to be one small
change.

How about this modified (cutting out the UIE testing) version of the
Documentation/rtc.txt test below?

I'm basically trying to find out if the alarm functionality is actually
working or not, since with 2.6.38+ we use the one-shot style alarm mode
to trigger UIE interrupts.

thanks
