[v9] y2038: Introduce the __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS define

  OK, how does this look?

Subject: [PATCH] y2038: Introduce the __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS define

Add a macro to linux/kernel-features.h, __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS, to
indicate whether the kernel can be assumed to provide a set of system
calls that process 64-bit time_t.

__ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS does not indicate whether time_t is actually
64 bits (that's __TIMEBITS) and also does not indicate whether the
64-bit time_t system calls have "time64" suffixes on their names.

Code that uses __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS will be added in subsequent
patches.

    * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/kernel-features.h
    (__ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS): New macro.

I assume that the above is just plain "guard" define (without any extra
meaning for glibc or other library)?

This version is OK.

Great! Thanks for your help Zack.

Do you want to send this out as a patch?
