Hmm... I remembered now that we have in our TODO:
hwclock
------
- use /var/lib/hwclock/drift to store hw-clock drift numbers.
- use /etc/adjtime as read-only for UTC/LOCAL information only
- the /var/lib/hwclock/drift should be implemented backwardly compatible,
it means use the file only if exists, otherwise follow /etc/adjtime
so maybe the best would be to keep ADJTIME_PATH=/etc/adjtime and use
it as read-only and use ${localstatedir}/lib/hwclock/drift for the
rest.
Note that ADJTIME_PATH is used by more utils, like rtcwake or systemd,
so move it is not so easy.
