Normally it does confuse me horridly because I get two copies of the
same patch, which applies happily with `patch --dry-run', but dies
horridly with `patch --for-real'.  But I was warned...

In future, please include a full copy of the (possibly modified)
changelog with each iteration of a patch.

As this patch is mostly-x86 I tossed it onto my for-Ingo pile.


From: Brian Maly <bmaly@...hat.com>

Add support for rtc-efi (RTC Class Driver for EFI-based systems) to x86.

This patch has been tested and works perfectly on every x86 EFI system I
could find, though all have been EL64 systems.  I would appreciate any
testing feedback from EL32 systems from anyone that has one and can test.
