As mentioned in another thread, this patch is now also a prerequisite for the cleaned up patch "[v3] x86: Convert x86_platform_ops to timespec64", which used to rely on an ugly hack to avoid a forward-declaration of 'struct timespec64', which is now allowed on 64-bit architectures after timespec64 is a structure rather than a macro now.
