Yes, or

	#[cfg(CONFIG_ARM)]
	fn ns_to_ms(ns: i64) -> i64 {
	    // SAFETY: It is always safe to call `ktime_to_ms()` with any value.
	    unsafe { bindings::ktime_to_ms(self.nanos) }
	}

	#[cfg(not(CONFIG_ARM))]
	fn ns_to_ms(ns: i64) -> i64 {
	    self.as_nanos() / NSEC_PER_MSEC
	}

	pub fn as_millis(self) -> i64 {
	    ns_to_ms(self.as_nanos())
	}
