As part of the system call rework for 64-bit time_t, we are restructuring the way that compat syscalls deal with 32-bit time_t, reusing the implementation for 32-bit architectures. Christoph Hellwig suggested a rename of the associated types and interfaces to avoid the confusing usage of the 'compat' prefix for 32-bit architectures. To prepare for doing that in linux-4.20, add a set of macros that allows to convert subsystems separately to the new names and avoids some of the nastier merge conflicts.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
