+          Provides an emulation for RTC_UIE if the underlying rtc chip
+          driver does not expose RTC_UIE ioctls. Those requests generate
+          once-per-second update interrupts, used for synchronization.
+
+          The emulation code will read the time from the hardware
+          clock several times per second, please enable this option
+          only if you know that you really need it.
