Oof. The rtc_lock is used all over the place. Not sure if we really want
to convert it to a raw_spinlock. 

However, sysdev_suspend() wants interrupts off on all the .suspend
calls. I'm surprised we haven't hit this issue with more drivers. Maybe
no one is testing suspend w/ -rt? Or am I just missing an obvious
solution?

Thomas, any thoughts on this?
