Subject[PATCH RFC] add time_after_now and other macros which compare with jiffies
Most of time_after like macros users just compare jiffies and
another number, so here add some other _now macros to do it.

Another aproach is changing original time_ macros to use jiffies to compare,
add a generic compare macro like time_compare(a, b)

* Have the 32 bit jiffies value wrap 5 minutes after boot
