Where the interrupt can be generated its a clear win, otherwise it might be more reasonable to return EINVAL instead of trying to emulate it - presumably hwclock can use some fallback method. Btw the interrupt need not to be hardware, for the Q40 I test a rtc register once per jiffie and generate a "soft interrupt". It could be done generic at least for m68k. Bye Richard
