Subject: [PATCH] x86/RTC: introduce a new generic rtc_ops for x86
System time keeping needs get_wallclock/set_wallclock supports,
currently this support comes from Motorola 146818 like RTC device
or EFI, or even virtualization, but in the future, there will be
other x86 platforms which don't have these options and have their
own RTC devices other than the 146818. So a more generic structure
is needed to support all platforms' need
This patch adds a arch_rtc_ops structure, which only has 2 API
pointers of get/set wall clock, each platform can register its own
desired RTC ops to be the one to use
Current patch only modifies the rtc.c and efi.c to incorporate
this change, further on we can think about to use it for the
paravirt code, which could make the asm/time.h much cleaner
