Make it possible to define i2c-devices at the kernel command line
or as a module parameter.

Format is devname1@addr1,devname2@addr2,...

Why not do this with your initrd, you can deal with your rtc
before mounting the real root fs.

I almost never use an initrd. Most of the time it isn't necessary and is 
just a waste of time to build, maintain and use it.

Thanks to git, I even find it it easier to maintain my own set of 
patches for the kernel (which I do since several years) and I find it 
easier to explain such others too, than to explain someone about how to 
build, maintain and use an initrd.
