No. We want a patch which adds the functions and then a patch which
uses them. This stuff is tricky and hard to review. So please split
the patches into smaller chunks.

So we have now two exports which are doing exactly the same
thing. Copy and paste is wonderful, right?

What about exporting __timespec_to_jiffies() and providing inlines for
timespec_to_jiffies() and timespec64_to_jiffies() ?

EXPORT_SYMBOL is not just a stupid annotation. Its impact on the
resulting kernel size is larger than the actual function
implementation.

Sigh.

Thanks,
