get/put_timespec64() interfaces will eventually be used for conversions between the new y2038 safe struct __kernel_timespec and struct timespec64.
The new y2038 safe syscalls have a common entry for native and compat interfaces. On compat interfaces, the high order bits of nanoseconds should be zeroed out. This is because the application code or the libc do not garuntee zeroing of these. If used without zeroing, kernel might be at risk of using timespec values incorrectly.
