Here is mine for what it is worth:
$ cat /proc/driver/rtc
rtc_time        : 22:25:17
rtc_date        : 2009-12-16
alrm_time       : 00:00:00
alrm_date       : ****-**-**
alarm_IRQ       : no
alrm_pending    : no
24hr            : yes
periodic_IRQ    : no
update_IRQ      : no
HPET_emulated   : no
DST_enable      : no
periodic_freq   : 1024
batt_status     : okay

No emulation here or any indication of hpet?
