It was the right file to build, back when sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/utimes.c 
required a utimes syscall to be present and architectures with the generic 
syscall interface didn't gave one.

Now, there is nothing in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/utimes.c that wouldn't 
work on asm-generic architectures.  So generic/utimes.c should be removed.  
Likewise, hppa/utimes.c should also be removed (now that 
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/utimes.c doesn't use the utimes syscalls, it 
doesn't matter than hppa got it late), and the __ASSUME_UTIMES definition 
in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/hppa/kernel-features.h should also be removed 
(because nothing will use it once the hppa utimes.c goes away).

Similarly, there is no longer a need for generic/futimesat.c so that can 
go away as well.
