M48T02 has 2KB NVRAM and RTC clock in it. TOD is not stored
in NVRAM area, and it should be accessed as the device.

Probably the monitor can't modify it (but I'm not sure).
NetBSD could access it, but anyway m48t02 only keeps two digits
for the year, and y2k problem with it should be handled by software.
Replacing hardware would not solve the problem.
