I'm sorry for dropping the ball on this earlier, so it already
missed the 4.20 merge window, and is getting almost too
late for 4.21 as well now.

I've applied your five patches to my y2038 tree now, so
it should at least be in linux-next as of tomorrow and
make it into 4.21. I'll see what other patches I have in
my backlog that we should get into that release before
I send him a pull request.
