- *	Real Time Clock interface for Linux
- *
- *	Copyright (C) 1996 Paul Gortmaker
- *
- *	This driver allows use of the real time clock (built into
- *	nearly all computers) from user space. It exports the /dev/rtc
- *	interface supporting various ioctl() and also the
- *	/proc/driver/rtc pseudo-file for status information.
- *
- *	The ioctls can be used to set the interrupt behaviour and
- *	generation rate from the RTC via IRQ 8. Then the /dev/rtc
- *	interface can be used to make use of these timer interrupts,
- *	be they interval or alarm based.
- *
- *	The /dev/rtc interface will block on reads until an interrupt
- *	has been received. If a RTC interrupt has already happened,
- *	it will output an unsigned long and then block. The output value
- *	contains the interrupt status in the low byte and the number of
- *	interrupts since the last read in the remaining high bytes. The
- *	/dev/rtc interface can also be used with the select(2) call.
- *
- *	Based on other minimal char device drivers, like Alan's
- *	watchdog, Ted's random, etc. etc.
- *
- *	1.07	Paul Gortmaker.
- *	1.08	Miquel van Smoorenburg: disallow certain things on the
- *		DEC Alpha as the CMOS clock is also used for other things.
- *	1.09	Nikita Schmidt: epoch support and some Alpha cleanup.
