timerfd_{g,s}ettime() (and other functions) test raw syscall with variants for
64bit and the old 32bit. These tests (in testcases/kernel/syscalls/timerfd) are
already quite complicated. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to add also
timerfd_{g,s}ettime() wrappers. But they should be covered as well, right?

And we of course test {g,s}etitimer() libc wrappers in open posix testsuite.

Kind regards,
Petr
