I think it needs a clearer usecase - and even then the 32-bit
behavior still looks rather horrible ...
So if we can escape all that with reasonable restrictions then
that's far better than taking on this kind of overhead for
32-bit systems. 32-bit still matters, we do the ktime_t
complications for 32-bit systems and that's for a far smaller
effect.
[ Would be nice to also stick in a WARN_ONCE() in the key
place(s) just in case, to make sure the overflow cannot happen
silently in the future. ]
Thanks,
Ingo
