Following up to Alessandro's RFC of 10 Nov 2008, this patch implements rtc_systohc() to update the configured rtc device (cmos, i2c, etc.) from the ntp-synchronized system clock. It changes the ntp update code to call rtc_systohc() rather than update_persistent_clock() which (at least on x86) always updates the cmos rtc. No attempt is made to compensate for the 500-ms delay imposed when setting a cmos rtc chip. If you actually have a cmos rtc you can stick with the existing code, but at some point it would be nice to unify these.
