Timezone not. I mentioned struct tm in first post because I was looking 
for equivalent of Linux time_to_tm() in NetBSD. time_to_tm() may be used 
in Linux kernel code. But it's timezone info is not used in this case.
Therefore on NetBSD is sufficient kernel struct clock_ymdhms.

Module configuration contains GMT times. Local time is converted to GMT 
in user-mode app and passed to module and module works with GMT times.
