[RFC][PATCH 1/4] add jiffies_to_nsecs() helper and fix up size of usecs

[Nishanth Aravamudan <nacc@us.ibm.com>]

From: Nishanth Aravamudan <nacc@us.ibm.com>

Description: Add a jiffies_to_nsecs() helper function. Make consistent
the size of microseconds (unsigned long) throughout the conversion
functions.
