This is the patch I would prefer to use (and in fact which I have

There are issues with 32-bit vs 64-bit encoding of times before
January 1, 1970, which are handled with this patch which is not
handled with what you have in your patch series.  So I'd prefer if you
drop this patch, and I'll get this sent to Linus as a bug fix for 4.4.

I'm happy with either one. Apparently both Davids have arrived with
almost the same algorithm and implementation, with the exception of
the pre-1970 handling you mention there.
