I put in a patch which went into 3.4, but as I didn't put in the -u for 
diff (yes it's still engraved in my eyeball) Klaus had to apply it 
manually.   Where someone is using a TZ= cheatcode to set the timezone, 
I still don't believe the clock will be set correctly as hwlock is 
called before the TZ cheatcode is read.   If required I'll submit a 
proper patch when I ever get a chance to boot into knoppix, but it's 
trivial, move the export of TZ and the running of hwclock so they occur 
(in that order) after the TZ cheatcode is picked up.

Of course this may not be Gilles problem!
