b7599587fa [PATCH] Allow reading CMOS day of week register
Someone wanted access to this usually unused (and unused by Linux) value
for the day of week.  Existing kernels have the field in the struct but
return 0 always.  This updates the kernel to fill in the field.  The usual
case of 'not set' conveniently is 0.

c3348760aa [PATCH] Fix wrong irq enable via rtc_control()
rtc_control() may be called in the interrupt context in ALSA rtc-timer
driver.  The patch fixes the wrong irq enable in rtc.c, and also fixes
the possible race of bit flags.

403fe5ae57 [PATCH] rtc: msleep() cannot be used from interrupt
Since the beginning of July my Opteron box was randomly crashing and
being rebooted by hardware watchdog.  Today it finally did it in front
of me, and this patch will hopefully fix it.

The problem is that at the end of June (the 28th, to be exact: commit
47f176fdaf, "[PATCH] Using msleep()
instead of HZ") rtc_get_rtc_time was converted to use msleep() instead
of busy waiting.  But rtc_get_rtc_time is used by hpet_rtc_interrupt,
and scheduling is not allowed during interrupt.  So I'm reverting this
part of original change, replacing msleep() back with busy loop.

The original code was busy waiting for up to 20ms, but on my hardware in
the worst case update-in-progress bit was asserted for at most 363
passes through loop (on 2GHz dual Opteron), much less than even one
jiffie, not even talking about 20ms.  So I changed code to just wait
only as long as necessary.  Otherwise when RTC was set to generate
8192Hz timer, it stopped doing anything for 20ms (160 pulses were
skipped!) from time to time, and this is rather suboptimal as far as I
can tell.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
