Documentation/rtc.txt is a combination of two files, a real documentation
file and a test program.  Splitting these up into two files is a good idea
for automated testing.  While testing on an AMD based system it was noticed
that the RTC was not behaving properly which lead to a possible bug in the
BIOS (the analysis of which is still ongoing).  rtctest.c returned a false
positive because it does not check the time between interrupts is what was
expected.  This patchset adds Documentation/rtc, splits the rtc.txt into two
files and updates the test to verify the passage of time.

[v2] this patchset was built on
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest.git next
in order to get jstultz' latest tools/testing/selftests/timers/ changes.
