// This Linux Kernel Module implements a simple character-mode
// device-driver for the Real-Time Clock's non-volatile memory
// (128 bytes). Although it fully supports read() and lseek()
// access, its support for write() access is restricted to the
// clock-and-calendar locations -- the non-configuration data.
//
// NOTE: Written and tested using Linux kernel version 2.6.22.
