Ah! Looks cool! As a warning, -rt is still running w/ an older version
of the TOD code (B20), so some changes will be needed when -rt moves to
the current version (C2, right now).

The main change is that the read/sync persistent clock bits got cut, so
the clock syncing is still necessary in timer_tick(). There might be a
few other differences but most of the changes were arch-generic so it
shouldn't be too much of an issue.

thanks
