OK, lest's make a deal you do the following and - realize
immediately that there is a need for single argument
time_past() or whatever and I turn spinlock debugging on :-).

[root@kozaczek linux]# find ./ -name "*.[ch]" -exec grep time_after /dev/null {}
\; | wc
265 1638 21285
[root@kozaczek linux]# find ./ -name "*.[ch]" -exec grep time_after /dev/null {}
\; | grep jiffies | wc
239 1497 19080
[root@kozaczek linux]#
