Shall we at least mention the previous well-known terminology CMOS clock ?

I have The Real-Time Clock may also be called the CMOS Clock. -- do you think this is insufficient?

My goal in making this change is to make this less PC-specific, as the term "CMOS clock" isn't used with e.g. AArch64 systems, while "Real-Time Clock" is suitable for x86 and non-x86 systems.

Oh, my fault. I did not read carefully. I'm OK with that.
