Why not use RTC in the PPC core?

Subject: PPC RTC on I2C

I'm working on getting i2c support working on a module that has its
RTC on i2c.

I've got my i2c client written, but i2c-core and friends don't load
until very late in the game; setting ppc_md.get/set (at least in
platform_init) is not very useful.

Any thoughts on a graceful way to implement kernel RTC support using
an i2c-based RTC (w/o bypassing the kernel's i2c layer)?
