This is only required until we change the definition of timespec64.
Right now it is defined as
#if __BITS_PER_LONG == 64
# define timespec64 timespec
#else
struct timespec64 {
time64_t tv_sec;
long tv_nsec;
};
#endif
And timespec.tv_sec is just long int on 64 bit machines.
This is why we need the cast now.
We will probably change this and only define __kernel_timespec instead
of timespec, leaving only one definition of timespec64.
At that time, we will not need this.
