There's no reason to use ktime_get() since we don't need any better
precision than jiffies, and since we no longer disable interrupts
around this code (when grabbing NIC access), jiffies will work fine.
Use jiffies instead of ktime_get().

What bug does this fix? After reading the commit log to me this looks
like more like cleanup and is better for -next.
Ah, this is a dependency for patch 12. I'll mention this in the commit
log, but please correct me if I have misunderstood.
Yes, you're right! It's a dependency and I thought it would be simpler
and cause less conflicts if I just took it too instead of sending them
via different trees.
