Could be. I thought that was the old situation, but assumed now that
timezone is an userland thing, it returned the HW clock. But I assume it
needs some form of timezone too for certain protocols.

So who maintains the difference between hardware clock and UTC for the
kernel's benefit then, and where is that maintained?
