Until now struct printk_info has contained generic types. If we add
struct ktime_timestamps, we may start storing more than we need. For
example, if more (possibly internal) fields are added to struct
ktime_timestamps that printk doesn't care about. We may prefer to
generically and explicitly store the information we care about:

    u64 ts_mono;
    u64 ts_boot;
    u64 ts_real;

Or create our own struct printk_ts to copy the fields of interest to.
