The ppp_idle structure is defined in terms of __kernel_time_t, which is defined as 'long' on all architectures, and this usage is not affected by the y2038 problem since it transports a time interval rather than an absolute time.
However, the ppp user space defines the same structure as time_t, which may be 64-bit wide on new libc versions even on 32-bit architectures.
It's easy enough to just handle both possible structure layouts on all architectures, to deal with the possibility that a user space ppp implementation comes with its own ppp_idle structure definition, as well as to document the fact that the driver is y2038-safe.
Doing this also avoids the need for a special compat mode translation, since 32-bit and 64-bit kernels now support the same interfaces. The old 32-bit structure is also available on native 64-bit architectures now, but this is harmless.
