Have a look at commit 51f31cabe3ce5345b51e4a4f82138b38c4d5dc91.
It adds support for SO_TIMESTAMPING in the transport layer, but only
for the ipv4 variants.
Good news is, it does look like it was simple to do the same to
ipv6/udp.c. Have fun.


    ip: support for TX timestamps on UDP and RAW sockets
    
    Instructions for time stamping outgoing packets are take from the
    socket layer and later copied into the new skb.
