I see...  We probably ought to make drivers/sbus/char/rtc.c sparc32-only,
then - AFAICS it simply won't be able to register misc device and that
will be it.  ACK?

Umm...  OK, that takes care of sparc64 side of things, which is probably
all we realistically care about.  Except that it still leaves broken sparc32
defconfig - we have RTC=m, SUN_MOSTEK_RTC=m and kbuild won't deal with it...
