My requirements were to support 64-bit vblank counts and ns precision
vblank timing for Vulkan; obviously using ktime_t was a good cleaup at
the same time.

My patch also widens the sequence numbers to 64-bits, so it's a superset
of Arnd's patch; rebasing should be straightforward (although not
automatic) if that's what we want to do.
