I read through 0001 and it seems basically fine to me. Comments:

1. pg_clock_gettime_ns() doesn't follow pgindent conventions.

2. I'm not entirely sure that the new .?S_PER_.?S macros are
worthwhile but maybe they are, and in any case I don't care very much.

3. I've always found 'struct timespec' to be pretty annoying
notationally, so I like the fact that this patch would reduce use of
it.
