One more commit that's needed to fix post-2038 timestamps:

commit 8b37e89f850610d51b7550ac34b8912b3000ced5

    debugfs: fix printing post-2038 inode timestamps
    
    Debugfs's stat command called ext2fs_inode_xtime_get() with a struct
    inode * instead of a struct large_inode *.  As a result, printing
    inode timestamps will be incorrect if the time value is larger than
    2**32.
