Thanks for the critical look at this!

I blindly copied the existing function and did not consider the
implementation. Looking for a helper that do what we needs here turned
up empty. I also looked at your suggestion to do:
nsec in absolute => jiffies in absolute => jiffies in relative
But did not find something that is better than what we have.

I will leave it for now, and focus on the other parts of the patchset.
In the vain hope someone else takes a look.
