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.
