Technically, the 5 bytes are supposed to be "_RTL_", but it is a lot
easier to just check _RTL since we can do that with a single read.
I suppose I could do a 64-bit read and mask the bits that matter.
Well, as long as you guys write in stone there at IBM that you will
remember to not have a possible future _RTL2_ that would clash horribly
with an non-up-to-date version of the driver that has no clue about
RTL2 and still would match the signature because it only looks at the first
32 bits...
I do not have a strong opinion either way. Yes, a 5-byte compare is more
precise, but 4-bytes is very likely to be unique. There is a spec
(written in stone, as it were) that tells what the table looks like. It
says a 5-byte signature followed by a 1-byte version number. Currently
there is only one version, but rather than change the signature on
future versions, we will change the version number.
That said, here is a new version that does a 5-byte masked quad-word
compare to find the signature.

IBM Real-Time "SMI Free" mode driver
This driver supports the Real-Time Linux (RTL) BIOS feature.
The RTL feature allows non-fatal System Management Interrupts
(SMIs) to be disabled on supported IBM platforms and is
intended to be coupled with a user-space daemon to monitor
the hardware in a way that can be prioritized and scheduled
to better suit the requirements for the system.
The Device is presented as a special "_RTL_" table to the OS
in the Extended BIOS Data Area. There is a simple protocol
for entering and exiting the mode at runtime. This driver
creates a simple sysfs interface to allow a simple entry and
exit from RTL mode in the UFI/BIOS.
Since the driver is specific to IBM SystemX hardware (x86-
based servers) it only builds on x86 builds. To reduce the
risk of loading on the wrong hardware, the module uses DMI
information and checks a list of servers that are known to
work.
