I think gettimefromboot_ns() is a good descriptive name, but slightly
too long - it would ruin my indentation. Perhaps getrealtime_ns()?
Sigh... So getrealtime_ns would probably be confused with
CLOCK_REALTIME, which is wall time. :P

At this point it feels too nitpicky to suggest anything else, so go
ahead and use boottime_ns and we'll refine things if anyone actually
trips up on it.

As long as the prototype is adequately commented, there needn't be any confusion ;)
