Bug description:
  [Impact]
  ARM64 EFI platforms have no real time clock support. This can leave a system 
with a very out-of-date system clock. It can be somewhat mitigated by using 
NTP, but that still leaves issues in early boot (inaccurate last mount times, 
etc).

  [Test Case]
  if dmesg | grep -q 'rtc-efi: setting system clock'; then
    PASS
  else
    FAIL
  fi

  [Regression Risk]
  This enables a new driver only on ARM64, so the risk should be low to other 
platforms. The upstream patches do refactor the rtc-efi driver but, that driver 
was previously only compilable on ia64, which isn't supported by Ubuntu.
