Hmm, apparently I forgot to update via_read_time(), that one
is indeed bogus and now inconsistent with the other functions.

The change in via_write_time() seems at least consistent wtih
what we do elsewhere, and using __u32 makes this code
more portable. (yes, I realize that 64-bit powermac doesn't
use the VIA RTC, but it feels better to write code portably
anyway).

I'd suggest we do it like below to make it consistent with the
rest again, using the 1904..2040 range of dates and no warning
for invalid dates.

If you agree, I'll send that as a proper patch.
