Hello folks.  I have a system where I want to 
have the kernel set the clock as if the clock were set to local time
instead of GMT.  I know I can do this by recompiling the kernel and use
options RTC_OFFSET=480
but I'd rather just use the generic kernel for the moment.  Is there a way
to tell the kernel that the rtc is set to local time without recompiling
it?  Further, is there a way to do it such that it knows before it
initializes the software clock at boot time?
-thanks
