 Hello,
 
 1. OK
 3. OK
 
 2. For backward compatibility. Some entities may depend on the original constants in the original place. As an alternative I can go through the kernel code-base, locate where these macros were used and enforce inclusion of <sys/clock.h>, of course not fixing driver-specific or MD code that work-arounds some specific piece of hardware that starts counting seconds from 1900, 1968, 2000 etc.
 
 My patch originally was intended to be not intrusive.
 
 With regards,
