I used this patch to teach me how to convert a new evbarm board (the 
code for which will be submitted for review Real Soon Now), and it works 
fine.  Here's my questions on the patch...

sys/arch/evbarm/ifpga/pl030_rtc.c: plrtc_attach() does not call 
todr_attach()?

sys/arch/arm/footbridge/isa/dsrtc.c: dsrtc_write() and dsrtc_read() 
continue to return 1 for success, which the generic TODR code will treat 
as an error return?

It's a nice improvement, thanks.
