[PATCH 436] M68k time update

[Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>]

M68k: Update time adjustment code cfr. other architectures.
(perhaps do_gettimeofday() is a good candidate for consolidation across archs?)

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
