PM / Sleep: Warn about system time after resume with pm_trace
pm_trace uses the system's Real Time Clock (RTC) to save the magic number. The reason for this is that the RTC is the only reliably available piece of hardware during resume operations where a value can be set that will survive a reboot. Consequence is that after a resume (even if it is successful) your system clock will have a value corresponding to the magic number instead of the correct date/time! It is therefore advisable to use a program like ntp-date or rdate to reset the correct date/time from an external time source when using this trace option. There is no run-time message to warn users of the consequences of enabling pm_trace. Adding a warning message to pm_trace_store() will serve as a reminder to users to set the system date and time after resume.
