32 bit systems using 'struct timeval' will break in the year 2038, so we replace the code appropriately. However, this driver is not broken in 2038 since we are using only the microseconds portion of the current time.

This patch replaces timeval with timespec64.

Committed to linux1394.git. Arnd, do you have special y2038 plans that make it desirable to have this merged before v4.4? Otherwise I would submit it for v4.5-rc1.

4.5-rc1 is fine.
