Pull timer update from Thomas Gleixner:
 "New defines for the compat time* types so they can be shared between
  32bit and 64bit builds. Not used yet, but merging them now allows the
  actual conversions to be merged through different maintainer trees
  without dependencies

  We still have compat interfaces for 32bit on 64bit even with the new
  2038 safe timespec/val variants because pointer size is different. And
  for the old style timespec/val interfaces we need yet another 'compat'
  interface for both 32bit native and 32bit on 64bit"
