x86, rtc: make CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC usable from modules
enabled, then interrupts don't work for the rtc-cmos driver which results in RTC_AIE*, RTC_PIE* and RTC_ALM being unusable. This affects hwclock from util-linux-ng at least on i386 since that uses RTC_PIE_ON. (For x86-64, a polling method is used for unknown reasons.) This patch series now 1. export the functions from arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c that the old char/rtc driver uses to work around that problem, 2. makes it possible to compile the old rtc driver as module, while still having CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC enabled and 3. makes use of the exported functions in (1) in the new rtc-cmos driver. This patch: This patch makes the RTC emulation functions in arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c usable for kernel modules. It - exports the functions (EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()), - adds an interface to register the interrupt callback function instead of using only a fixed callback function and - replaces the rtc_get_rtc_time() function which depends on CONFIG_RTC with a call to get_rtc_time() which is defined in include/asm-generic/rtc.h. The only dependency to CONFIG_RTC is the call to rtc_interrupt() which is removed by the next patch. After this, there's no (code) dependency of this functions to CONFIG_RTC=y any more.
