We definitely should. We are in the process of removing all uses of
timespec from the kernel in favor of timespec64, and this requires
changing the Xen code as well if we want to do it right. I suppose that
both Dom0 and DomU will have to support the old and the new interface
for x86, so we have a fallback if the 64-bit interface fails.
