Mitsuru IWASAKI 0ebefa8c4e 1. Fix a comment. Locking _is_ needed (but not done).
2. Update a comment.  We now restore much more than RTC updates and
   interrupts.
3. Order change.  Stop interrupts by writing to RTC_STATUSB,
   restore rate bits for the interrupts by writing to RTC_STATUSA,
   then enable interrupts again.
   This seems to be done perfectly backwards in startrtclock().
   Otherwise, the idea for this change was obtained from
   startrtclock().
4. Don't stop the clock (RTCB_HALT).  We only program some control bits
   and don't want to stop the clock.
5. (Not really related.)  Add caveats to the comment about timer_restore().
   The update is non-atomic since locking is not done.

On locking:
6. rtcin() and writertc() are locked() adequately by splhigh() in RELENG_4,
   but this locking is null in -current.
7. Doing things in the correct order in (3) combined with (6) is probably
   enough locking for rtcrestore() in RELENG_4.  In -current, the
   writertc()'s race with rtcintr() unless the BIOS disables RTC interrupts.
