If fundamentally you are working with ktime_t values, please use that type
and the associated helpers.

This is a valid argument that using custom typedefs provide documentation
and an aid to understanding, but I think it doesn't serve that purpose
very well here.

So please just use ktime_t throughout instead of this cobalt_time_t
and cobalt_tdiff_t.  And then use helpers like ktime_to_us() which
properly optimize for 64-bit vs. 32-bit hosts.

Thank you.
