fix code to access CMOS rtc registers so that it does not use inb_p and
outb_p routines, which are deprecated.  Extensive research on all known CMOS RTC
chipset timing shows that there is no need for a delay in accessing the
registers of these chips even on old machines. These chipa are never on an
expansion bus, but have always been "motherboard" resources, either in the
processor chipset or explicitly on the motherboard, and they are not part of 
the ISA/LPC or PCI buses, so delays should not be based on bus timing.
The reason to fix it:
1) port 80 writes often hang some laptops that use ENE EC chipsets, esp. those
designed and manufactured by Quanta for HP;
2) RTC accesses are timing sensitive, and extra microseconds may matter;
3) the new "io_delay" function is calibrated by expansion bus timing needs,
thus is not appropriate for access to CMOS rtc registers.
