That's not a bad idea. We could have a script that creates some kind of
header file with #define HAVE_KTIME_GET_SECONDS and then we could use
that. We could even just do that for every single exported functions,
that will just be a few hundred lines but shouldn't matter much? :)

I once considered something similar but by actually test-compiling
something against the kernel - that worked (even for backported
inlines) but was awfully slow ...
