The ktime_t interfaces are still defined to use an opaque type,
as previously it was a union that could be a seconds/nanoseconds
pair depending on the architecture. These days, ktime_t is just
a 64-bit integer, so div_u64() would work just as well as ktime_divns(),
but this is the documented way to do it.
