One more thing here: this definition is slightly suboptimal because in
an alsa-lib that gets built with 64-bit time_t, we end up with an unusable
__snd_pcm_mmap_status structure (__snd_pcm_mmap_status64 works
fine, and that would be the normal thing to use). Just in case we want
to be able to build an alsa-lib that is capable of running both on
new kernels with 64-bit time_t interfaces exposed to applications and
also on old kernels that don't have the new ioctls, we probably want
another fixup merged in:

With this change, alsa-lib can either access whichever structure
matches the glibc 'timespec' definition, or it can ask for
__struct __snd_pcm_mmap_status and struct __snd_pcm_mmap_status64
explicitly, regardless of the time_t definition.
