Do you mean we should add fstat64_time64() for all architectures
then? Would use use the same structure layout as statx for this,
the 64-bit version of the 'struct stat' layout from
include/uapi/asm-generic/stat.h, or something new that solves
the same problems?

I definitely don't want to see a new time32 API added to
mips64 and the 32-bit architectures, so the existing stat64
interface won't work as a statx replacement.
