Actually, I think the scope of this bug is resolved (though it looks
like you have found a different one). The requested config option did
get added, and I verified that it does fix the issue with rtc
discovery on my system (mac mini). I just confirmed that this did not
regress in 2.6.30-3.

Would you mind filing a separate bug for this? I'd suggest using the
reportbug tool to collect more information about your system.
Also, if you could test one of the snapshot builds of 2.6.31 (see
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel), that would provide useful
information.
