Bernie, be sure to open a trac bug so that we can get this into
Update.1 if possible.

(Just to clarify, it should be *moved* from /etc/rwtab to
/etc/statetab, not just added to statetab -- but I'm not 100%
confident that this is correct.  Please read the man page for hwclock
carefully.  I think we should really be passing --noadjfile to
hwclock, and if /etc/sysconfig/clock actually states UTC=true (trac
#5648) then adjtime should not have the UTC offset in it.)
