Albeit a fairly obscure one. I tagged the patch for backporting, let

I suppose that on this basis:
arch/x86/kernel/rtc.c | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
drivers/rtc/rtc-cmos.c | 26 +++++++++-----------------
include/asm-x86/rtc.h | 4 ++++
it should be considered an x86 patch. I shall treat it as such.
Thanks.
