Comment(by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
The original hwclock (from which the util-linux version was forked in
1999) does currently allow direct access for PPC, x86_64, and SPARC.
There is a bug mentioned in the changelog about directisa being
broken...basically if two processes access it at the same time, however, I
don't know if this would cause an issue for our intended use. It seems to
me, at least on Linux, nothing will access the system clock until the
device node is available anyway. I have found no evidence for or against
this issue in the util-linux version.
