You patch reverts a fix I made some time ago. Basially, what probably
happens is that your RTC is in UTC time, not in local time. The Mac RTC
is supposed to be in local time, the offset corrects the kernel time on
boot to account for this. Previously, without that fix, the kernel used
to boot with a bogus UTC time until userland fixes it.
