Ah, OK, that's the important part. I didn't realise that rtc_lock isn't
actually required by any other code. In which case, yes, it completely
makes sense to push the locking of rtc_lock down into the
implementations that actually need it.

It'd be great if I could get some ACK's from the virtualization guys.
