I think kernel must remember last boot time and last timezone offset
before adjkerntz will be run (stored somewhere at boot device).
Adjkerntz will be gmtoffset and run in any case
in future to deal with local-time systems like msdosfs even when
your CMOS clock is GMT, but I am not shure that I can finish it
before release.
