Timezone not. I mentioned struct tm in first post because I was looking
for equivalent of Linux time_to_tm() in NetBSD. time_to_tm() may be used
in Linux kernel code. But it's timezone info is not used in this case.
Therefore on NetBSD is sufficient kernel struct clock_ymdhms.
Module configuration contains GMT times. Local time is converted to GMT
in user-mode app and passed to module and module works with GMT times.
