This is user space exposed API. Which means we do not just simply "remove
it". This file is the reason I kept the absolute timestamps around in the
first place. Because user space may want them.

How do you know that user space isn't using this? Is there something else
you are planning on adding that makes taking the risk we might break user
space worth while?
