Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCHv1] x86: rtc_cmos platform device requires legacy irqs

No PIC != No legacy IRQs, Hyper-V Gen2 represents such a platform (and
it has RTC on irq8). I've tested this patch against it and it appears to
work because the device is present in ACPI and we initialize it in
drivers/acpi/acpi_cmos_rtc.c, add_rtc_cmos() bails out in the very
beginning as we see PNP0b00 device.
