Actually, I greped the kernel source, and found none of time_*64 usage.

After grep again, I found a missed one in:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/therm_throt.c

        if (time_before64(tmp_jiffs, __get_cpu_var(next_check)))
                return 0;

Does it really need time_before64 here?

If it does need then I wonder whether the other 64 macros may be
removed, or just to add a time_is_before64_jiffies
