Sounds like overkill, and won't always give the correct result.
i.e. my laptop boots from a FAT fs, but only has Linux on it.
The FAT fs simply being used as a simple boot / recover FS.
I believe that plan 9 does a similar thing (9fat fs == FAT),
with a FAT based boot filesys.
I've certainly seen other OS's that take a similar approach.
So I'd suggest that the offered patch be chosen - but simply
pick if you want local or UTC as the default.
