I haven't had a chance to go over it in detail yet, but one quick comment; the patch looks like it got line-wrapped by your mail agent (looks like you're using Evolution 2.0). Could you send it as a text/plain attachment, or otherwise fix your mailer to not wrap your patches? It might be nice if the patch had a way of adjusting the granularity by masking off bits of the nanoseconds field, so we can benchmark how much overhead constantly updating the ctime field is going to cost us.
