In the current code, RTC_AIE doesn't work if the RTC relies on
CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC because the code sets the RTC_AIE flag in
hpet_set_rtc_irq_bit(). The interrupt handles does accidentally check
for RTC_PIE and not RTC_AIE when comparing the time which was set in
hpet_set_alarm_time().
I now verified on a test system here that without the patch applied,
the attached test program fails on a system that has HPET with
2.6.24-rc7-default. That's not critical since I guess the problem has
been there for several kernel releases, but as the fix is quite
obvious.
Configuration is CONFIG_RTC=y and CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC=y.
