Resolves the alpha 2020 issue for util-linux:
http://marc.info/?l=util-linux-ng&m=148387021519787
Now it is only the kernel's RTC problem.

Compare functionality was printing nonsense values. There is no knowledge
of anyone using this broken functionality. Instead of deprecating the code
for months, and removing it after few release, it is removed immediately.
Needless to say this is unusual removal.

The manipulate_clock() is seeing return value from
busywait_for_rtc_clock_tick().
And the get_permissions_cmos() can see i386_iopl() return value.

The control structure is read-only everywhere else but in main(). Almost
all changes are about how variables are referred, with one exception. Calls
to read_adjtime() from manipulate_clock() and compare_clock() are moved to
main(). This way it is possible to keep variable that tells if hwclock is
using UTC-0 be part of control structure.
Changes within #ifdef __alpha__ segments were tested by flipping the
preprocessor directivive otherway around and getting good compilaton all the
way to the point where linking on none-alpha system failed.
