It'd need to have some NTP sync solution for RTC_LIB devices, but
ISTR the gentime stuff still assumes an update_persistent_clock()
that doesn't sleep ... and hence can't be used with I2C based RTCs.

I still believe NTP sync stuff should be done outside of the kernel.
given the mean accuracy of RTC chips and other sync factors, imho
you haven't so much to gain with an in-kernel sync code.

Then the kernel/time/ntp.c stuff should be removed on all systems?

 I'd say yes, but I think that would be dangerous to my own life :)
