I don't think this patches makes sense without the next one,
which actually uses the structure.

Wrong comment style, also the 'compat path is the 32 (or 31 in case of
s390) bit emulation, so the comment seems rather confusing.
> +#ifndef CONFIG_64BIT_TIME
> +#define __kernel_timex timex
> +#endif
using #defines for structs has all kinds of ill effects. Why can't
we aways use __kernel_timex for the in-kernel usage?
> +#ifndef __kernel_timex
> +struct __kernel_timex {
> + unsigned int modes; /* mode selector */
> + int :32; /* pad */
Why do we need padding for a purely in-kernel structure?
Also the anonymous member syntax is rather odd and I don't remeber
us using it anywhere else. Why here?
