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?
