Ah, an NTP expert :-) What do you think about adding an RTC driver
to NTP? On our boxes (and I suspect many others), the system clock
is driven by the interval timer. But the RTC is much more accurate,
so it'd be nice if NTP knew how to use it.
The RTC is terribly slow and has low resolution, but in the absence of
anything better, it'd be nice if we could use it.
Is this possible? Feasible? I know the NTP guys would probably
laugh us out of the room, but not everybody has a fancy clock
attached to their box.
