Hi Hervé,

I've just rebased and updated the patchset to use a "base_year" property
similar to mc146818rtc. AFAICT the hack for 0 representing year 2000
isn't relevant here since QEMU doesn't currently implement the century
bit and so the year is limited to 0-99. I'll send the new version out
shortly.


ATB,

Mark.
