By _far_ the largest majority of all system time calls are asking for the
_current_ time, right?



Are there (common) systems that have kernel calls for other than the
current time?


The calls I'm thinking of are those you make to convert an OS-supplied time_t (file) system timestamp to YMDHMS etc.

I.e. even Windows (which uses a seconds-based timestamp with 100 ns resolution) has calls exactly like that. Those are the calls that would need to be updated in order to work in (TAI * 1e7).
