[PATCH] RTC subsystem: class

Add the basic RTC subsystem infrastructure to the kernel.

rtc/class.c - registration facilities for RTC drivers
rtc/interface.c - kernel/rtc interface functions
rtc/hctosys.c - snippet of code that copies hw clock to sw clock
		at bootup, if configured to do so.

+ * the truncated value. This is because otherwise it is necessary,
+ * in an rtc sync function, to read both xtime.tv_sec and
+ * xtime.tv_nsec. On some processors (i.e. ARM), an atomic read
+ * of >32bits is not possible. So storing the most close value would
+ * slow down the sync API. So here we have the truncated value and
+ * the best guess is to add 0.5s.
