Those two patches were already available for review for some time.
Indeed, by using 64-bit time internally we may have more testing
(sooner).

I do recall that this optimization was to avoid performance regression
on legacy systems - to avoid issuing two syscalls (64 bit one and then
32 bit one).

I do think that this approach (with classification of use cases based
on specified kernel version) aligns with how people will build setups
for those systems (at least I do it in this way for OE/Yocto).

Ok.

Ok.

Ok.

Ok.

BTW: I'm wondering when the minimal, supported Linux kernel version is
going to be moved forward?
