Tx timestamp for packet mmap.

Hi.

I would like to be able to get tx timestamps of packets sent by the 
packet mmap interface...

Actually, I try to get them with the sample code below.

The problem is that it doesn't work without the joined patch.

I wonder if my current implementation is good. And if not, how should i 
get the timestamps ?

Wouldn't be a good idea to put timestamps in the ring buffer frame 
before give back the frame to the user ?

Thanks for your help and advices.

Paul.
