RTC on MPU is much better, for you might want realtime events/tasks to 
triggered/done by MPU. It's an annoyance to have the RTC in PMU just because 
there happen to be a RTC there and incidentally also a backup battery. WHAT 
FOR do we need a RTC on PMU?? It would be even less weird to use the one of 
6400 and stay close to IndustryStandardArchitecture(ISA=PC=IBM)...

Hmmmm.....
More on this later maybe...
