Hmm, shouldn't this be using nsecs_to_cputime64()? For some reason however, that function
is (incorrectly?) defined as 

include/asm-generic/cputime.h:#define nsecs_to_cputime64(__ct)  nsecs_to_jiffies64(__ct)

and only used in one place, in

kernel/sched.c: if (cputime64_gt(nsecs_to_cputime64(latest_ns), cpustat->irq))
kernel/sched.c: if (cputime64_gt(nsecs_to_cputime64(latest_ns), cpustat->softirq))

I'm not sure what the correct solution is, but I would assume that ia64 and powerpc
should fix their definitions of nsecs_to_cputime64() anyway.
