Comment 22 for bug 563618

Have reviewed the change; should not impact boot performance or reliability on systems not booting with 'fixrtc', installs to the correct point in the boot sequence. Still an ugly hack, but we already knew that. :) The only change I'm making is to drop the superfluous call to hwclock --systohc -- we simply don't care about the value in the hardware clock because we're not going to be reading from it at all after this point, and writing this out delays the boot unnecessarily. /etc/init/hwclock-save.conf will write it out for us on shutdown, for all the good that does on the affected hardware.

Merged and uploading.
