Linux has had 64 bit date-time since the beginning of last year even on 32 bit architectures.

Might be wise to migrate to a file system that uses 64 bit timestamps though if you have disks formatted with ext3.

Thankfully, 64-bit counters don't overflow in practice, so that should be the last bitwidth increase.
