alpha: Reorganize rtc handling
Discontinue use of GENERIC_CMOS_UPDATE; rely on the RTC subsystem. The marvel platform requires that the rtc only be touched from the boot cpu. This had been partially implemented with hooks for get/set_rtc_time, but read/update_persistent_clock were not handled. Move the hooks from the machine_vec to a special rtc_class_ops struct. We had read_persistent_clock managing the epoch against which the rtc hw is based, but this didn't apply to get_rtc_time or set_rtc_time. This resulted in incorrect values when hwclock(8) gets involved. Allow the epoch to be set from the kernel command-line, overriding the autodetection, which is doomed to fail in 2020. Further, by implementing the rtc ioctl function, we can expose this epoch to userland. Elide the alarm functions that RTC_DRV_CMOS implements. This was highly questionable on Alpha, since the interrupt is used by the system timer. Signed-off-by: Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net>
