Subject: [PATCH] linux/time.h name space pollution in 2.4.0-test11-pre6/pre7

Hi Linus,

include/linux/time.h leaks out mktime, creating a possible conflict with
POSIX mktime. This patch puts mktime and a few helper functions into
#ifdef __KERNEL__

Originally for 2.4.0-test11-pre6, but applies also to 2.4.0-test11-pre7

Cheers, Werner
