Public bug reported:
On Natty armel, the kernel option 'fixrtc' exists to set the system time from
the last mount time from the rootfs. This allows systems which does not have a
valid RTC time at startup to be able to boot of the root file system.
When the 'fixrtc' option is used, the system time is set to the last
mount time, regardless if the system time is already set to something
valid. There should be a comparison between the current system time and
the last mount time. The fixrtc should only come into play if the system
time is less than the last mount time of the fs.
