Subject: [PATCH] x86: serialize EFI time accesses on rtc_lock
The EFI specification requires that callers of the time related runtime
functions serialize with other CMOS accesses in the kernel, as the EFI
time functions may choose to also use the legacy CMOS RTC.
Besides fixing a latent bug, this is a prerequisite to safely enable
the rtc-efi driver for x86, which ought to be preferred over rtc-cmos
on all EFI platforms.
