An XDP eBPF program (run at earliest possible ingress) has access to a
buffer of arbitrary data that is attached to the skb and that can be
read from later eBPF programs. So it doesn't need to muck with
skb->tstamp for this.

Yeah, the whole XDP/eBPF system is somewhat of a work in progress ;)

Yeah, it is. Don't think there's a way to run an eBPF program after the
qdisc...
