No, unfortunately I won't be there.

Concerning a v4l2_buffer, I agree we should treat that as a completely independent
topic. The problem at hand for y2038 is only about we expect to happen when someone
compiles source code that uses the existing v4l2_buffer (and v4l2_event) with a
y2038-aware libc.
