These fields shouldn't exist. They are misimplemented compatibility cruft.

which I fixed in FreeBSD-5 using bit-fields. Now the support for POSIX
before about 2007 is broken by declaring struct timespec undonditionally
and using it for st_atim, etc. API compatibility with old versions of
FreeBSD is broken by renaming st_atimespec to st_atim, etc.
API compatibility with old versions of FreeBSD is actually preserved using
another macro hack (define st_atimespec as st_atime, etc.). This uses a
correct visibility ifdef, but the man page says that it uses a different,
incorrect one. The man page only attempts to document the ifdef tangles
for st_*tim*.
