FWIW, this is similar to the approach that Deepa suggested
back in 2016:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1452144972-15802-3-git-send-email-deepa.kernel@gmail.com/
It was NaKed at the time because of the added complexity,
though it would have been much easier to do it then,
as we had to touch all the timespec references anyway.
The approach still seems ok to me, but I'm not sure it's worth
doing it now if we didn't do it then.
