That would give us back what we had at the beginning. This way, userland
is solely responsible for this setup, which means it will be wrong on 50%
of user machines (but that's user fault isn't it ?) and which means the
kernel will boot with a wrong time, at least until the userland init
script takes over.
I don't see why it's such a mess to simply read the default values from
xpram so we are consistent with MacOS. But everything in Linux is a mess
anyway...
