Subject: Re: [Y2038] [RFC 02/15] vfs: Change all structures to support 64 bit time

Arnd and I had a discussion about how to proceed here.
We don't think anybody really is wanting a big patch touching 50 fs here.
We are evaluating a couple of approaches that don't do this.
I will post an update next week
