[RFC PATCH 0/4] Add rtc 64bit epoch offset for rtc hardware that only provides 32bit time

On some systems the rtc hardware may only provide 32bits of time. This is problematic, as the hardware won't be able to provide post-y2038 times to initialize the system at boot. Thus this patch series provides a 64bit epoch offset, which can be configured to allow the 32bit rtc hardware to
