I see that the timestamp is sent using

	ceph_encode_copy(&p, &req->r_stamp, sizeof(req->r_stamp));

What happens with the timestamp across reboots if we change the
type? I assume the data will not be used across reboots, if it
does, we already have a problem on machines that can boot
both big-endian and little-endian kernels, or that can boot
both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels.
