Ok, Imre pointed out to me that there is a separate definition for
32-bit machines that does seem limited to only handling unsigned ns
values. And so currently blows up big time for the early vblank case.
If we knew the values were guaranteed to be less that a second we could
just use ktime_add() by keeping delta_ns as a ktime_t instead. Since
we are dealing with fractions of a frame...
