It seems, that every Bios does this differently. You can do a hexdump /dev/nvram (MSB and LSB are swapped) (kernel must be >2.4.6; thanks to Frank) which includes the extended cmos ram area. At Offset 0x55-0x59 are stored the alarm values (Gigabyte GA-7IXE AMI Bios) At Offset 0x30 ist Stored the MSB of the checksum for the extended cmos ram. At Offset 0x30 ist Stored the LSB. I couldn't find out how to calculate the matching checksum. Can anybody help? To workaround I summed up the differences of the old and new values and added them to the checksum. Perhaps not very elegant but it works (thanks again to Frank). I wrote a tool, but at the moment more or less a study.
