rcsysinit.d to udev rules. Is it so important "clock to be set as soon as
/dev/rtc becomes available"?

This becomes important when boot logging is enabled.

me. And hwclock works even if RTC is disabled in kernel at all.
This is only true for x86 with the current version of hwclock. The
original code that current hwclock was forked from, does support setting
the hardware clock without a device node on other arches.
