Yes, I understand why we want a time-stamp very early...but if
we can get _some_ sort of time stamp very cheap (TSC, for example)
then we can potentially defer the more expensive conversion of
this stamp into the equivalent of whatever do_gettimeofday will
give us.
I fully understand your idea, I've talked about it with Alexey many
times. Someone just has to implement it.
pkt_sched.h is probably the place to play, maybe make an
asm/pkt_sched.h header.
