More Kconfig tweaks related to the legacy PC RTC code:

 - Describe the legacy PC RTC driver as such ... it's never quite
   been clear that this driver is for PC RTCs, and now it's fair
   to call this the "legacy" driver.

 - Force it to understand about HPET stealing its IRQs ... kernel
   code does this always when HPET is in use, there should be no
   option for users to goof up the config.

This seems to fix kernel bugzilla #10729.

Make /dev/kmem a config option; /dev/kmem is VERY rarely used, and when
used, it's generally for no good (rootkits tend to be the most common
users).  With this config option, users have the choice to disable
/dev/kmem, saving some size as well.

A patch to disable /dev/kmem has been in the Fedora and RHEL kernels for
4+ years now without any known problems or legit users of /dev/kmem.

<title>rtc: avoid legacy drivers with generic framework</title>

<content type='text'>
Kconfig tweaks to help reduce RTC configuration bugs, by avoiding
legacy RTC drivers when the generic RTC framework is enabled:

 - If rtc-cmos is selected, disable the legacy rtc driver;

 - When using generic RTC on x86, enable rtc-cmos by default;

 - In the old "chardev RTC" section of Kconfig, add a comment
   warning people off these (seven) legacy RTC drivers when
   the generic framework is in use.

People can still use the legacy drivers if they want (or need) to.

This doesn't fix the broken dependencies for the legacy "CMOS" RTC driver.
Ideally it would be a full list of platforms where it works, not a partial
list of ones where it won't.  Or better yet, it would depend on a
"HAVE_CMOS_RTC" flag defined by various platforms ...  surely there's a
Kconfig style guideline lurking there.
