As the patch is a week old and Greg hasn't picked it up yet, I'm guessing
that he doesn't have it in his queue any more and you should send it once
more with my 'Reviewed-by' tag.

This is a very minor comment I still have, and the patch is fine as it, but
I tend to prefer ktime_get_real_ts64() over getnstimeofday64() these days.
The two functions do the exact same thing, and I hope to remove the latter
eventually.
