This patch forces the kernel to bear proper language date rather than
some localized date which may come out wrong since the console fonts are
not yet loaded.

(C) 2000 by Matthias Andree. GPL, meant for inclusion into the Linux
Kernel by Linus Torvalds, Alan Cox et al.

Tested against 2.2.15pre13.
