 If you do make the change, could you also remove the NVRAM_DIAG check in
 startrtclock()? FreeBSD removed it ages ago:
 
 https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/2b89f1fc9e8b71154dba0bc5852a24751e411f5e
 
 It now only produces spurious errors like:
 
 ```
 [     1.000000] RTC BIOS diagnostic error 0xcb<clock_battery,ROM_cksum,fixed_disk>
 ```
 
 Thx,
