unsure if anybody else needs that functionality. i was suggested to submit
it into actual code review place, but i'm unsure. it's from 2014, it still
cleanly applies. probably because noone needed to touch working code!
anyway, i used it in in arm board development, in bbb, to default system
time to "visually invalid" 1970 when no other source was found. i found
getting time from filesystem causing much confusion when files were created
before ntp sync. so i added this hack
