Hmmm (a) is the "current" jiffies, (b) is the "stored" jiffies, and
both are always unsigned long. But (c) is the timeout constant, and I
thought better not to assume typing info there, as a small integer
fits in many types.

I think that in the second check you mean this:

#define time_in_range(a,b,c) \
	(time_after_eq(a,b) && \
	 time_before_eq(a,b+c))

I'll see about testing this new macro in my test box and will report
back soon.
