I'd appreciate if someone (Woody?) can test
this code on ARM.

There are PPC, M68K, SPARC, and other boards that could also
use this; ARMs tend to integrate some other RTC on-chip. But
on whatever non-PC platform is involved in such sanity testing,
that involves adding a platform_device to board setup code.

Let me put that differently. That should be done as a separate
patch, adding (a) that platform_device, and maybe platform_data
if it's got additional alarm registers, and (b) Kconfig support
to let that work. I'd call it a "patch #4 of 3". ;)

The current Kconfig uses:

+config RTC_DRV_CMOS
+       tristate "CMOS real time clock"
+       depends on RTC_CLASS && (X86_PC || ACPI)

Eventually maybe the PC-or-ACPI stuff should vanish, but IMO
not until this code has been used on a few other platforms.
