bfa_aen_entry_s is passed to user space in a netlink message, but is defined using a 'struct timeval' and an 'enum' that are not only different between architectures, but also between 32-bit user space and 64-bit kernels they may run on, as well as depending on the particular C library that defines timeval. This changes the in-kernel definition to no longer use the timeval type directly but instead use two open-coded 'unsigned long' members. This keeps the existing ABI, but making the variable unsigned also helps make it work after y2038, until it overflows in 2106. Since the macro becomes overly complex at this point, I'm changing it to an inline function for readability. I'm not changing the 32-bit user-space ABI at this point, to keep the changes separate, I deally this would be defined using the same binary layout for all architectures.
