Ok.

Another idea maybe worth to think about: actually this is only interesting on
links where filtering is active (i.e. some packets could be dropped by pfil
and whatever sits behind that). Maybe doing some timestamp related operation
only if pfil dropped a packet could avoid the global performance hit.
