I am not sure how could that happen.
I am always just taking an old kernel
config and never change the options
that are not supposed to be changed.
Was the old RTC driver removed by any

OK, but unfortunately I can't help
with that. I won't touch any non-x86
arch code, so I'll simply go for
the #ifdef here, or someone else
should make the patch instead. :)

OK, thanks.
I'll update the patch, in todo for
the week-end.
