As part of the system call rework for 64-bit time_t, we are restructuring the way that compat syscalls deal with 32-bit time_t, reusing the implementation for 32-bit architectures. Christoph Hellwig suggested a rename of the associated types and interfaces to avoid the confusing usage of the 'compat' prefix for 32-bit architectures.
To prepare for doing that in linux-4.20, this adds a set of macros that lets us convert subsystems separately to the new names and avoid some of the nastier merge conflicts.
Looks fine to me:
