I disagree, I think this is exactly the right place to do it. The CMOS access on x86 boxes is going to be via the RTC, and the folks from Intel even indicated that the proper place to put the CMOS region handler is in the driver that claims the RTC PNP ID. The only pending question I was aware of is that Anthony had asked the Intel guys a question about a return code, but that barring that the patch was ready to go into the tree (and should probably go in soon so it can make 10.1). -- John Baldwin
