ah, good - thanks for testing it. I havent seen a lockup on the T60
either - but it was very sporadic to begin with. (and now we understand
why: hwclock is running only once per reboot.)
Plus, the real bug has to be found as well: who in the rtc ioctl path
calls this code with irqs disabled - it's not nice.
