get_jiffies_64() should probably be added as
another test too.

Also, these might be wrong:

arch/arm/kernel/smp_twd.c: while (get_jiffies_64() < waitjiffies)
arch/arm/kernel/smp_twd.c: while (get_jiffies_64() < waitjiffies)
fs/fuse/dir.c: else if (fuse_dentry_time(entry) < get_jiffies_64()) {
fs/fuse/dir.c: if (fi->i_time < get_jiffies_64()) {
