Sorry, this one slipped through the cracks.

We've got the same assumption elsewhere in the kernel (e.g. vdso) but at
some point we should probably deal with >56 bits in case somebody makes a
high-frequency timer with more significant bits.
However, I think this patch is going in the right direction:
