No, but if you'll look at arch/i386/kernel/do_gettimeofday, you'll
find that it actualy converts time from nsecs to usecs, as global
xtime variable is timespec, not timeval...
>From userspace timespec is passed to futex(), nanosleep() and
sched_rr_get_interval(). I do not see gettimespec() in the kernel ABI,
but you can always multiply usecs in gettimeofday by 1000.
