'struct video_event' is used for the VIDEO_GET_EVENT ioctl, implemented by drivers/media/pci/ivtv/ivtv-ioctl.c and drivers/media/pci/ttpci/av7110_av.c. The structure contains a 'time_t', which will be redefined in the future to be 64-bit wide, causing an incompatible ABI change for this ioctl. As it turns out, neither of the drivers currently sets the timestamp field, and it is presumably useless anyway because of the limited resolutions (no sub-second times). This means we can simply change the structure definition to use a 'long' instead of 'time_t' and remain compatible with all existing user space binaries when time_t gets changed. If anybody ever starts using this field, they have to make sure not to use 1970 based seconds in there, as those overflow in 2038.
