Do I understand it correctly that no other interface is using
nanoseconds since 1970? We probably don't have to worry about year
2262 yet, but wouldn't it be better to make it consistent with the
timestamping API using timespec? Or is it just better to avoid the
64/32-bit mess of time_t?

I prefer a single 64 bit nanoseconds field:

- Applications won't have to convert to timespec.

- Avoids the time_t issue.
