Ok, I see. It would be nice if the process had a way to avoid build regressions
in linux-next, in particular if you already have a fix by the time a patch
that introduces a problem gets added.

Can you check if the fix for the second problem correctly removes the
unnecessary 64-bit division (as opposed to adding a call to div_s64()
or do_div()), and if it removes all traces of 'struct timespec' again?
