Re: [Y2038] [PATCH] x86: fix unused efi_get_time function

Nothing calls the efi_get_time function on x86, but it does suffer from the 32-bit time_t overflow in 2038.

To avoid that if anyone starts calling it, this changes the function to use timespec64 and mktime64 instead.

The obvious alternative would be to remove the function, I'll send that patch as well, so you can pick one or the other.
