... while you are it, can you use m48t59->rtc->start_secs and

mechanism to extend the range?
That didn't work out as I'd hoped. I booted a patched kernel (diff below)
under qemu-system-sparc64:

Here's the result from an unpatched kernel (v6.11):

I'm afraid I don't see how we might avoid adding/subtracting in
read_time/set_time given that we must avoid messing up the present date
when users boot into an upgraded kernel.
