Another value since if someone turns on SO_TIMESTAMP they want usec (timeval)
and SO_TIMESTAMPNS would be for nanosecond values. Trying to set both
flags would be not allowed.

     If the SO_TIMESTAMP option is enabled on a SOCK_DGRAM socket, the
     recvmsg(2) call will return a timestamp corresponding to when the data-
     gram was received.  The msg_control field in the msghdr structure points
     to a buffer that contains a cmsghdr structure followed by a struct
     timeval.  The cmsghdr fields have the following values:

     cmsg_len = sizeof(struct timeval)
     cmsg_level = SOL_SOCKET
     cmsg_type = SCM_TIMESTAMP

- add -
     If the SO_TIMESTAMPNS option is enabled on a SOCK_DGRAM socket,
...
     cmsg_len = sizeof(struct timespec)
     cmsg_level = SOL_SOCKET
     cmsg_type = SCM_TIMESTAMPNS
