IMO if it doesn't make 2.6.27, it should merge for 2.6.28 early-ish.

I don't think anyone in particular has been _pushing_ to resolve these
NTP related issues ... lack of urgency. Maybe it's fair to think of
that as a process issue. If DaveM wants SPARC64 to completely remove
its legacy RTC support for some release (which?) then: (a) great! and
(b) that should be sufficient urgency.

There was, I think, another patch related to this one. Then there may
be a few other loose ends to tie up also.
