We used to do this in upstream standard udev rules:
  SUBSYSTEM=="rtc", ATTR{hctosys}=="1", MODE="0644"
  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/rules/50-udev-default.rules#n18

If that information is expected to be gone now, we need to update some
tools. Whats' the proper way now to find the "system rtc" to use?
