This should take only a few minutes to fix by somebody who knows what they
are doing.  I'd do it, but I do not have vmware and have no desire to start.

rtc.c already has the make_dev() calls, but they are in the wrong place.
They need to be moved from rtc_attach() (called by rtc_open()) to
init_module() and replace the cdevsw_add that is there.  cdevsw_add and
cdevsw_remove should be completely removed.  This set of changes will work
on 4.x too, so there are no big portability issues.

Some of the folks on freebsd-emulation may be able to do it.

Cheers,
-Peter
