Hmmm.. well, I can't seem to find equivalent definitions for the Linux kernel macro RTC_PIE_OFF for instance and the emulators/rtc port isn't sufficiently documented for me to determine how the original author found out what signals RTC_PIE_ON and RTC_IRQP_* (whatever macro is also defined in /usr/local/include/linux/rtc.h).
