Avoid the intermediate step going from timeval to timespec64 to ktime_t and back by using ktime_t throughout the code.
I was going back and forth between the two implementations. This patch is optional: if we want it, it could be folded into the patch converting to itimerspec64.
On an arm32 build, this version actually produces 10% larger code than the timespec64 version, while on x86-64 it's the same as before, and the number of source lines stays the same as well.
Right. For 32bit without a native 64/32 division this is going to be more text and I'm not really convinvced that this buys us anything.
Thanks,
