Okay, that'd be fine, but the file system code doesn't use splclock()
mostly because it doesn't really "need"[*] to.  I don't really think you
"need" to here, either.  But that's neither here nor there :-)

[*] Yes, technically you need splclock to make access to time atomic,
but for these applications ... maybe it doesn't matter so much.
