This patch implements an optimization I proposed a long time ago. gettimeofday can be quite costly and it currently is on the fast path of every packet. Normally the packet time stamp is not needed (e.g. TCP doesn't use it), except for tcpdump and a few applications.


Will this work for apps that don't use a seperate syscall
to get the timestamp. Like CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP for e.g?
