Subject: rtc: make CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC usable from modules
From: Bernhard Walle <bwalle@xxxxxxx>

The new rtc-cmos driver misses HPET support.  If the hardware has HPET
enabled, then interrupts don't work for the rtc-cmos driver which results in
RTC_AIE*, RTC_PIE* and RTC_ALM being unusable.  This affects hwclock from
util-linux-ng at least on i386 since that uses RTC_PIE_ON.  (For x86-64, a
polling method is used for unknown reasons.)

This patch series now

  1. export the functions from arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c that the old char/rtc
     driver uses to work around that problem,

  2. makes it possible to compile the old rtc driver as module, while still
     having CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC enabled and

  3. makes use of the exported functions in (1) in the new rtc-cmos driver.


This patch:

This patch makes the RTC emulation functions in arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c usable
for kernel modules. It

  - exports the functions (EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()),
  - adds an interface to register the interrupt callback function
    instead of using only a fixed callback function and
  - replaces the rtc_get_rtc_time() function which depends on
    CONFIG_RTC with a call to get_rtc_time() which is defined in
    include/asm-generic/rtc.h.

The only dependency to CONFIG_RTC is the call to rtc_interrupt() which is
removed by the next patch. After this, there's no (code) dependency of
this functions to CONFIG_RTC=y any more.
