A port of the existing x1205 driver under the new RTC subsystem.

It is actually under test within the NSLU2 project
(http://www.nslu2-linux.org) and it is working quite well.

It is the first driver under this new subsystem and should be used as a guide
to port other drivers.

Add the dev interface to the RTC subsystem.

Each RTC will be available under /dev/rtcX .  A symlink from /dev/rtc0 to
/dev/rtc cab be obtained with the following udev rule:

KERNEL=="rtc0", SYMLINK+="rtc"

Add the proc interface to the RTC subsystem.

The first RTC driver which registers with the class will be accessible by
/proc/driver/rtc .

This is required for compatibility with the standard RTC driver and to avoid
breaking any user space application which may erroneusly rely on this.

This patch adds the sysfs interface to the RTC subsystem.

Each RTC client will have his own entry under /sys/classs/rtc/rtcN .

Within this entry some attributes are exported by the subsystem, like date and
time.

Add the basic RTC subsystem infrastructure to the kernel.

rtc/class.c - registration facilities for RTC drivers
rtc/interface.c - kernel/rtc interface functions
rtc/hctosys.c - snippet of code that copies hw clock to sw clock
		at bootup, if configured to do so.
