these are needed for time64 compatibility, and are backported from the
y2038-endgame kernel branch and squashed with non-uapi changes
removed.
with just these patches applied the kernel will not build since
changes at the source level are also needed. but it is not practical
to backport source changes to an old kernel, and even if it were, it
would not make sense to include irrelevant changes that need rebasing
in a patchset intended only for the purpose of uapi header
installation.
forward-ported from the now-removed 4.4.10 patch, needed to fix#8,
spurious dependency on host elf.h header. I checked x86 and mips which
seem to be the only archs with archscripts rules, and these rules have
nothing to do with building headers, so omitting them should still be
safe.
