typedef __s64 time64_t;

struct timespec64 {
	time64_t	tv_sec;			/* seconds */
	long		tv_nsec;		/* nanoseconds */
};

time64_t is signed. Also, %lu on i386 et al is for 32-bit longs.
I guess that "we" will need to cast ts.tv_sec to (s64) and use %lld to print it
in order to satisfy other $arch.

Andrew, want to add a fix-fix-fix patch?
