According to [1], we should disable non-maskable and maskable interrupts while initializing RTC. Otherwise, the RTC may be left in an undefined state (non-functional) if an interrupt occurs. Currently, maskable interrupts are already disabled, but NMI is not. This patch adds helpers APIs to enable/disable non-maskable interrupts (NMI) and changes rtc_init() to disable NMI while initializing the RTC. NMI enable/disable code is legacy-PC specific therefore it was put in driver/legacy_pc/ directory. Regarding the RTC initialization changes, just calling nmi_disable() and nmi_enable is not enough since NMI and RTC share the same IO port. So We should also set the NMI_ENABLE bit while selecting the RTC_INDEX. Additionally, the nmi_disable() call is not strictly required since we set the NMI_ENABLE bit while selecting the RTC_INDEX. However, to make clear hat we are disabling NMI and to improve readability (by matching NMI disable/enable), the nmi_disable() call was purposely used. [1] http://wiki.osdev.org/RTC |

The Contiki Operating System
Contiki is an open source operating system that runs on tiny low-power microcontrollers and makes it possible to develop applications that make efficient use of the hardware while providing standardized low-power wireless communication for a range of hardware platforms.
Contiki is used in numerous commercial and non-commercial systems, such as city sound monitoring, street lights, networked electrical power meters, industrial monitoring, radiation monitoring, construction site monitoring, alarm systems, remote house monitoring, and so on.
