hwclock expects a standard /dev/rtc interface, which is not available
for the MPC8xx in some versions of the Linux kernel.

If you're  looking  for  an  implementation,  check  out  our  kernel
sources. It includes a MPC8xx RTC driver.

How many seconds are there in a year? If I tell you there are 3.155 x
10^7, you won't even try to remember it. On the other hand, who could
forget that, to within half a percent, pi seconds is  a  nanocentury.
