This patch is concerned with migrating the time variables for the s390
network driver. The changes handle the y2038 problem where timespec will
overflow in the year 2038. timespec was replaced by unsigned long and
all time variables get their values from the jiffies global variable.
This was done for the sake of speed and efficiency.

v1: Arnd has advised me to provide you with options for time
calculation. The first option: "accuracy" is used in this
patch. The second option: "speed" can be done through
jiffies.
v2: Moved on to the speed option. Let me know if I explicitly
need to include the jiffies header. The module compiles with
no problems on my side.

thanks, Aya. I miss drivers/s390/net/ctcm_main.c in your patch. And
"time_before()" is not the right function to use here, because it
returns a Bool value. Purpose of the ctcm timespec stuff is to determine
the time interval between triggering the send operation and receiving
the confirmation of the send operation. The maximum value is saved and
can be displayed in the statistics.

Hello Ursula,
ok. I will see what needs to do in it. I did not change it.

Yes, you're right. I will fix that. Sorry!
