    x86: fix RTC_AIE with CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC · 8ee291f8

    In the current code, RTC_AIE doesn't work if the RTC relies on
    CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC because the code sets the RTC_AIE flag in
    hpet_set_rtc_irq_bit().  The interrupt handles does accidentally check
    for RTC_PIE and not RTC_AIE when comparing the time which was set in
    hpet_set_alarm_time().
    
    I now verified on a test system here that without the patch applied,
    the attached test program fails on a system that has HPET with
    2.6.24-rc7-default. That's not critical since I guess the problem has
    been there for several kernel releases, but as the fix is quite
    obvious.
    
    Configuration is CONFIG_RTC=y and CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC=y.
