That code wrongly assumes that cputime_t wraps jiffies_t. Lets use
the correct accessors/mutators.

In practice there should be no harm yet because alpha currently
only support tick based cputime accounting which is always jiffies
based.

It would make more sense to pass char __user * instead of
char * in callers of do_mount() and do getname() inside do_mount().

iterate_dir(): new helper, replacing vfs_readdir().

struct dir_context: contains the readdir callback (and will get more stuff
in it), embedded into whatever data that callback wants to deal with;
eventually, we'll be passing it to -&gt;readdir() replacement instead of
(data,filldir) pair.

This is in preparation for the full dynticks feature. While
remotely reading the cputime of a task running in a full
dynticks CPU, we'll need to do some extra-computation. This
way we can account the time it spent tickless in userspace
since its last cputime snapshot.
