I can put nanoseconds as timer interval too (with aligned_u64 as David
mentioned), and put it for timeout value too - 64 bit nanosecods ends up
with 58 years, probably enough.
Structures with u64 a really not so good idea.
OK. One could do u32 seconds/u32 nsecs, but a simple aligned_u64 will be
better for 64-bit machines, and OK for 32-bit.
aligned_u64 is not exported to userspace, so in the last patchset I just
use __u64 as syscall parameter.
