It looks like we had 2 i2c rtc drivers that were misbehaving (trying to
do i2c transfers before interrupts are enabled).  For now I simply
removed them from the GENERIC config as a workaround (r322282).  I've
ordered samples of the chips and when they arrive I'll rework the
drivers to behave better.
