   I used to see a problem with using "DUMMY_NOPS" where the RTC interrupt
acknowledge would be missed due to the time-delay constraints not being met.
If you're using DUMMY_NOPS, then this could be your problem. If you're not,
then the problem could be caused by your system eating the inb(0x84) without
adding enough delay.
