The "old" time types use 32-bit seconds which are not y2038-safe.
Respect COMPAT_32BIT_TIME for functions using those types.
time(), stime() and gettimeofday() are disabled completely.

Looks good, yes

settimeofday() is kept as it is required to do the initial timewarping
after boot. However the 'tv' argument will be rejected.

Not sure about this part, did we already discuss this last time?

I can see how keeping the timewarping functionality is the easy way
out, but completely disabling the settimeofday syscall the same
way we do on new architectures seems so much more consistent.

Note how scripts/syscall.tbl blocks sys_settimeofday on
architectures that don't set the time32 flag, which ideally
should match the COMPAT_32BIT_TIME option here.
