Again, this is irrelevant. We are discussing whether it would make sense

achieve sub-microsecond precision, there is a need for sub-microsecond 
resolution. As long as we are changing the resolution, we might as well 
use something standard like struct timespec.

You can not blindly change skb timestamps to different entities - you
need to change all users (at least in kernel).
Exporting it to userspace must require new socket option and old one ust
be changed accordingly, but there is nothing wrong in having nanosecond
resolution in packet timestamp except that it might not be 100% correct
receiving time.
