Nice!
Applause as well! While this is something of a fork of this
discussion, I would rather like to resurrect a variant of the old
'time in queue' patch...

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/125329/

As best as I recall we'd run into trouble with combining things like
netem and complex qdiscs, because we had basically overrun the size of
the control block.

And then there was a long discussion of all that and I forget if any
conclusion was reached.

An alternative to reducing the length of the control block was to find
some way to leverage this sanely in the qdisc layer...

#define HAVE_HW_TIME_STAMP

/**
 * struct skb_shared_hwtstamps - hardware time stamps
 * @hwtstamp:   hardware time stamp transformed into duration
 *              since arbitrary point in time
 * @syststamp:  hwtstamp transformed to system time base
 *
