Since net/ipv4/* are the only users, it is enough to put
it in under net/ipv4/.

time.c hosts functions that are used by individual subsystems like
current_fs_time() used by filesystems
(sometimes used by other subsystems also).

The network timestamp function is used for both source route ip option
and timestamp icmp messages.
So it makes it difficult for it to be owned by a single layer.
This is the reason it was chosen to include here.

Another option is to include it in the lowest layer its used:
af_inet.c. Is this what you were suggesting?

Yes, that's right.
