Cover letter [PATCH 0/4] hwclock: x86_64 -- UTC Defaults -- v2.26 man updates

I think I heard Mr. Zak say RC1 is coming, so I wanted to add some more documentation details for the hwclock v2.26 changes.

While testing to make sure what I wrote was correct, I found 2 new minor bugs. I want to slip the patches in for them this release so the manual will make sense.

Then I decided to do some man page errata and drop some outdated language... and then I authored a new configuration section... well it ended up being a more sizable patch then I intended. I apologize for that, but it's not code so I hope it will be okay. A rewrite of the man page is on my todo list after hwclock refactoring is finished; this patch puts a good scratch in some of what I intended todo.

If the POSIX vs 'RIGHT' section sounds vaguely familiar, you're probably recalling this commit:
d53f8ecfbf036eddb2aef737dc0973a613d80ced Which should never have been accepted.

From his email, Mr. Parmelee appears to be seriously confused.

But I'll bring this discussion up in a hwclock refactoring RFC later on.

I made the final man page patch separate so it can be rejected easily. We've already visited that subject a few times now and perhaps Karel doesn't want to mess with it anymore.

I wish everyone here a Happy New Year!
