If it can be done reasonably easy, which you patches seem to indicate
is the case, I have no objections to extending packet socket for
64-bit timestamps.

I hope that AF_CAPTURE will be designed in such a way that all apps
can migrate to it, and I will be making sure it is implemented
appropriately with that in mind.

But I don't think AF_CAPTURE should block your work here.
