The original thought is that this maps directly to clock_gettime()
without extra conversion needed, and is similar to other pre-ktime_t
UAPI.  But OTOH if userspace wants to add an offset, it is maybe
better to convert completely to ns in userspace and use a u64 (as that
is what ns_to_ktime() uses).. (and OFC whatever decision here also
applies to the syncobj wait ioctls)

I'm leaning towards u64 CLOCK_MONOTONIC ns if no one has a good
argument against that.
