Well if it was only about __kernel_old_timespec we could easily just
declare it locally in the file and be done with it.

But I guess that newer 32bit architectures will have only the 64 bit
syscall present, I think that somebody pointed out that this is the case
for 32bit RiscV. If that's true we will have to have a fallback for that
case as well.
