You're right - the first version did call it only in rtc_alarm_disable()
so I should move it to cmos_alarm_disable(). Will fix.

Btw, I did some more runs on the weekend. It seems, the setting of the
alarm interrupt bit in RTC_CONTROL doesn't matter. I dumped its contents
on shutdown and I had cases where it was 0x22 (bit 5 set) and 0x2.

So my hunch currently is us *not* disabling the alarm, doesn't make it
reboot the box.

I know, unfortunately this is still a brown paper bag and I don't have a
real rootcause...
