Geert, David, Andreas,
Could you try the following? Its a bit messy of a patch doing a couple
of things:

1) Simplify the timer->enabled management by pushing it into
rtc_timer_enqueue/remove (needed cleanup for #2).

2) Properly propagating errors from __rtc_set_alarm back through
rtc_timer_enqueue and users.

3) Trivial clenaup making rtc_timer_enqueue/remove static.

4) Fixup virtualized rtc_read_alarm to check hardware capabilities and
return errors (also restores zeroing of the rtc_wkalrm stucture).

I'll be cleaning these up and breaking them into commits I can send
upward, but I wanted to make sure it resolves the issue for you.

Let me know if it fixes things.

thanks
