Hi Peter,

The reason I didn't move it to rtc common code is, this vrtc.c sits in
arch/x86/kernel/ and better not to depend on drivers/rtc, as drivers/rtc
may not be always enabled in kernel configuration.

I also have another general driver for vrtc which will be in drivers/rtc/,
just like general x86 kernel which has a rtc.c in arch/ and a rtc-cmos.c
in drivers/rtc, I will clean my code up and try to move these funcs to a
common code. 

Thanks,
Feng
