This gets us nanoseconds instead of microseconds, which is better, and
we can do this pretty much without freaking out existing userspace,
which doesn't actually make use of the nano/micro seconds field:
zx2c4@thinkpad ~ $ cat a.c
void main()
{
puts(sizeof(struct timeval) == sizeof(struct timespec) ? "success" : "failure");
}
zx2c4@thinkpad ~ $ gcc a.c -m64 && ./a.out
success
zx2c4@thinkpad ~ $ gcc a.c -m32 && ./a.out
success
This doesn't solve y2038 problem, but timespec64 isn't yet a thing in
userspace.

DaveM suggests we do in fact do this. Others on the same thread weren't
happy about the length of the proposed message, so we also give a bit of
a less dramatic warning.
This reverts commit a2cc976a3b572cf308cc2d97c080eacac60416fe.
