A few comments.

- Be aware the the PC RTC is kept in localtime and the kernel softclock is
	GMT.
- I can send a mail digest out for a context on past discussions of this
	subject if folks would like.

We still don't have a solution to the GMT vs. localtime problem.

With that said. As long as this doesn't preclude being able to have some
mechanism to adjust the softclock to localtime before resettodr() and
being able to adjust the softclock (and deal with DST correctly) when you
inittodr().
