Documentation/rtc.txt is a combination of two files, a real documentation file and a test program. Splitting these up into two files is a good idea for automated testing. While testing on an AMD based system it was noticed that the RTC was not behaving properly which lead to a possible bug in the BIOS (the analysis of which is still ongoing). rtctest.c returned a false positive because it does not check the time between interrupts is what was expected. This patchset adds Documentation/rtc, splits the rtc.txt into two files and updates the test to verify the passage of time.
