Something of tangential relevance.  In Linux they have some special trace code
to debug ACPI resume issues that stores some IDs/hashes of trace statements
(perhaps somewhat akin to our ktr) to RTC time-of-day registers.
I guess that that was a smart choice because you can count on presence of those
registers and they can be written with simple outb instructions.
