Hmm, I thought RTC_SYSTOHC was there to update the used RTC clock with
the time from NTP (and liked that). Therefor I don't understand why it
is redundant and unnecessary on x86. Of course, most systems do have
something in userspace to set the RTC on shutdown, so it isn't really
needed.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the great overview. I was totally unaware about
the persistent_clock framework on x86.

Alexander
