This is not an easy problem to fix. Userspace, the kernel and the
netlink API use 32 bit for timing related values, which is too small
to use more than microsecond resolution. All of them need to be
converted to use bigger types, additionally some kind of compatibility
handling to deal with old iproute versions still using microsecond
resolution is required.
