[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2] xen/pcifront: Remove usage of struct timeval

[Tina Ruchandani <ruchandani.tina@xxxxxxxxx>]

struct timeval uses a 32-bit field for representing seconds,
which will overflow in the year 2038 and beyond. This patch replaces
struct timeval with 64-bit ktime_t which is 2038 safe.
The patch is part of a larger effort to remove instances of
32-bit timekeeping variables (timeval, time_t and timespec)
from the kernel.

Changes in v2:
- Use monotonic time (ktime_get_ns()) instead of real time
since we only care about elapsed delta here.
- Use macro ktime_get_ns() instead of getting ktime_t and
converting it to ns.
