Ok, that wasn't clear from the original code, so I just moved the division
from the do_gettimeofday() here to keep the data unchanged.

With your change, the 

new_seq = (sec << REQS_SEC_SHIFT) |
                  (usec << REQS_USEC_SHIFT) |
                  (svcpt->scp_cpt < 0 ? 0 : svcpt->scp_cpt);

calculation will get forward jumps once a second, but I guess that
doesn't matter if it's only used for sequencing.

The part that I had not noticed here is the y2106 overflow in the
sequence number. If we change the logic, we should probably give
a few more bits to the seconds, as well, or use monotonic time.

I went back and forth on these. Initially I did just what you suggest
here and added a (u32) cast on the deadline fields, but I could not
convince myself that the backwards jump in 2038 is harmless. For all
I can tell,  array->paa_size is not normally a power-of-two number, so
(0xffffffff % array->paa_size) and (0 % array->paa_size) are not
neighboring indices. If you are sure that the index can be allowed to
jump in 2038, we should do the simpler math and add a comment.
