LOL

Either convince tglx that ktime_t really ought to die for good (yeah, I
know arm), or specialize the whole printout for 32 vs 64 ktime_t.

union ktime {
        s64     tv64;
#if BITS_PER_LONG != 64 && !defined(CONFIG_KTIME_SCALAR)
        struct {
# ifdef __BIG_ENDIAN
        s32     sec, nsec;
# else
        s32     nsec, sec;
# endif
        } tv;
#endif
};
