Add some basic documentation defining the semantics of the fields.

+SYSFS INTERFACE
+---------------
+
+The sysfs interface under /sys/class/rtc/rtcN provides access to various
+rtc attributes without requiring the use of ioctls. All dates and times
+are in the RTC's timezone, rather than in system time.
+
+date:  	   	 RTC-provided date
+max_user_freq:	 The maximum interrupt rate an unprivileged user may request
+		 from this RTC.
+name:		 The name of the RTC corresponding to this sysfs directory
+since_epoch:	 The number of seconds since the epoch according to the RTC
+time:		 RTC-provided time
+wakealarm:	 The time at which the clock will generate a system wakeup
+		 event. This is a one shot wakeup event, so must be reset
+		 after wake if a daily wakeup is required. Format is either
+		 seconds since the epoch or, if there's a leading +, seconds
+		 in the future.
+
+IOCTL INTERFACE
+---------------
+
 The ioctl() calls supported by /dev/rtc are also supported by the RTC class
 framework.  However, because the chips and systems are not standardized,
 some PC/AT functionality might not be provided.  And in the same way, some
