(It may have closed because of coredump, etc.) This was previously done only for emulated update IRQs ... now, do it always. Also comment the current policy: repeating IRQs (periodic, update) that userspace enabled will be cleanly disabled, but alarms are left alone. Such repeating IRQs are a constant and pointless system load. Update some RTC drivers to remove now-needless release() methods. Most such methods just enforce that policy. The others all seem to be buggy, and mistreat in-kernel clients of periodic or alarm IRQs.
