====================
This is a joint effort with Willem to bring optional i) tx hw/sw
timestamping into PF_PACKET, that was reported by Paul Chavent,
and ii) to expose the type of timestamp to the user, which is in
the current situation not possible to distinguish with the RX_RING
and TX_RING API (but distinguishable through the normal timestamping
API), reported by Richard Cochran. This set is based on top of
``packet: account statistics only in tpacket_stats_u''. Related
discussion can be found in: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/238125/
