There are multiple applications of this information aside from
bridging. I'd drop that and instead rewrite the existing. Something
like
"delivery_time in mono clock base (i.e., EDT) or a clock base chosen
by SO_TXTIME. If zero, skb->tstamp has the (rcv) timestamp at
ingress."

This patch adds too much verbose commentary, repeated multiple times,
for such a small change. Keep only the comment in skbuff.h.

Search for all occurrences of skb->tstamp getting initialized from
sockc.transmit_time. af_packet.c has three such cases.
