None of the current handlers really need it and with temperature
compensation enabled it would be necessary to undo the compensation
before passing it to the handlers.
This is to avoid incompatibility between 64/32-bit client/server.
While at it, convert all time values in the protocol to timeval
to avoid Y2K38 problem.
2) Changes to rtc_linux.c which a) do a double read of /dev/rtc when the
PPM interupt is turned on after the wait time expires. The current read
does not block to the second, as it should, thus two reads are needed.
Also, changes so that at startup the system properly ignores the last
system time from the initial burst mode for setting the system time since
it can be way off. At present this last system time is included in the
regression, which throws it off until finally that sample is dropped.
This is a verbatim copy of the files at that stage of the repository that was
built from the CVS import. It allows future development to see a bit of recent
history, but without carrying around the baggage going back to 1997. If that
is really required, git grafts can be used.
