Ah hah.  You appear to be missing CONFIG_RTC_DRV_ALPHA in the new kernel, so
you have no support for the RTC at all.  Please re-try.

Grr.  Naturally, the old kernel obfuscates which timers are being delivered
where.  So a direct comparison doesn't appear possible.  But those separated
numbers seem uncomfortably low.

I've just pushed a new branch to

  git://github.com/rth7680/linux.git axp-qemu-7

Please try that with CONFIG_ALPHA_WTINT disabled.  I'd like to eliminate that
as a source of uncertainty for your system.
