I think these should remain unchanged, the complex expression was intentionally
done so the structures are laid out the same way on 64-bit
architectures, so that
the kernel can use the __SND_STRUCT_TIME64 path internally on both 32-bit
and 64-bit architectures.

The problem I see with this is that it might break musl's ability to
emulate the new
interface on top of the old (time32) one for linux-4.x and older
kernels, as the conversion
function is no longer stateless but has to know the negotiated
interface version.
It's probably fine as long as we can be sure that the 2.0.16+ API
version only gets
negotiated if both the kernel and user sides support it, and musl only emulates
the 2.0.15 API version from the current kernels.
I've tried to understand this part of musl's convert_ioctl_struct(), but I just
can't figure out whether it does the conversion based the on the layout that
is currently used in the kernel, or based on the layout we should have been
using, and would use with the above fix. Rich, can you help me here?
