I don't see either of those patches in 3.16-rc5 at the moment, so I
guess it won't be an issue for 3.16.

I'm not sure about the time_t/timespec changes, but renameat2 should be
pretty straightforward, just a new __ASSUME_RENAMEAT2 in
kernel-features.h for 3.16 (if it gets in later), and maybe adding
renameat2() as an API function.

Anyways, I'll work on getting the nios2 patches posted again.

Thanks,
