Sorry about that.
After looking in more detail, I agree with Paul. This bug only affects
setups where no PNP RTC is available, or where CONFIG_PNP is disabled.
It also affects OLPC's coming-soon addition of an XO-specific RTC
driver.

So, a clear and simple fix, but not a wide-reaching bug in the first place.
2.6.38 would be fine, no real need for -stable backporting IMO.

Thanks,
Daniel
