struct bootinfo is defined in machine dependent <machine/bootinfo.h>.
On hpcsh, the header is sys/arch/hpc/include/bootinfo.h, and
it is prepared in sys/arch/hpc/hpc/kloader.c:kloader_bootinfo_set()
and parsed in sys/arch/hpcsh/hpcsh/machdep.c:machine_startup().

We could pass RTC_OFFSET via bootinfo, but IIRC there is
no port which uses RTC_OFFSET passed from bootloader.
(maybe because there is no generic way to detect proper RTC_OFFSET
 in bootloader which prepares bootinfo structures.)
