Indeed, and 64-bit arithmetic is more expensive on 32-bit platforms. I considered that change, but doing so would require updates all over the place (e.g. printing a value derived from NSEC_PER_SEC, divisions that need to be changed to do_div or div_u64(), ...)
Note that the selftests already use such a definition.

Thanks!
