So you want us to kill the ppc_md.[gs]et_rtc_time() [ppc], mach_hwclk() [m68k],
mach_gettod() [m68knommu] (and probably a few other) abstractions, and move all
RTC code out of arch/ into seperate drivers under drivers/rtc/ instead?

That's the ideal... although did we get NTP sync working again yet?

 not yet. we're close but I've been very busy :(

I know the feeling.

Once that's working, we can convert individual PPC platforms over,
removing the routines from the ppc_md and creating a generic RTC driver
instead. PA Electra is already like that -- because it wasn't a
regression there to have broken NTP sync. But the others need to wait.

Eventually, we ought to be able to drop the RTC functions from the
ppc_md -- and presumably the equivalent for other architectures too.
