Subject: CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS lost on x86 with ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK changes?

Hey,

what's the intention of:
  e90c83f757fffdacec8b3c5eee5617dcc038338f ?
  x86: Select HAS_PERSISTENT_CLOCK on x86

It unconditionally sets:
  HAS_PERSISTENT_CLOCK
but:
  RTC_SYSTOHC
got a depends on !HAS_PERSISTENT_CLOCK

This makes it impossible to sync the system time from the RTC on x86.
What's going on here?

Thanks,
Kay
