David says "884b4aaa should be reverted.  It
added an rtc_merge_alarm() call to the 2.6.20 kernel, which hasn't yet been
used by any in-tree driver; this patch obviates the need for that call, and
uses a more robust approach."

Add rtc_merge_alarm(), which can be used by rtc drivers to turn a partially
specified alarm expiry (i.e.  most significant fields set to -1, as with the
RTC_ALM_SET ioctl()) into a fully specified expiry.

If the most significant specified field is earlier than the current time, the
least significant unspecified field is incremented.

The rtc_is_valid_tm() routine needs to treat some of the fields it checks as
unsigned, to prevent wrongly accepting invalid rtc_time structs; this is the
same approach used elsewhere in the RTC code for such tests.

Conversely, rtc_proc_show() is missing one invalid-day-of-month test that
rtc_is_valid_tm() makes: there is no day zero.
