I have a minor nit about the interpretation of these values. I realize
the values printed are the ones that are supplied. When the sec
value is negative, does that imply that the nsec value has the same
sign? IOW, are the two values added with a multiplier to the nsec
value, or are they concatenated with a decimal in the middle? I expect
the latter. In the current userspace support, there is no explicit type
support included yet for interpreted fields. This is just a minor
documentation issue to me.
