Subject: [PATCH v3 05/22] posix-timers:Convert to the 64bit methods for the timer_gettime syscall function

Convert to the 64bit methods with timespec64/itimerspec64 type for the timer_gettime
syscall function, and change the timer_gettime syscall implementation according to
the CONFIG_64BIT macro.

This function is unfortunately incorrect, because you never copy
the cur_setting value into cur_setting64.

No, that function has to do the right thing. The purpose of the function
is to keep the kernel working when only half the series is applied, this
is a fundamental part of how we do kernel development: Each patch in
you series needs to bring the kernel closer to what we want to have in
the end but not introduce bugs. Your current function stops the
timer_gettime() system call from working and makes it return uninitialized
kernel data.

The function is crap no matter whether its removed later or not. And
it breaks bisectability.
