Thanks

My text must have been unclear. What I meant is that I have identified
that file as needing a patch (among 120 other files) but have not
written one.

This one is trivial, it just needs replacing this code

if (entskb->tstamp.tv64) {
struct nfqnl_msg_packet_timestamp ts;
struct timeval tv = ktime_to_timeval(entskb->tstamp);
ts.sec = cpu_to_be64(tv.tv_sec);
ts.usec = cpu_to_be64(tv.tv_usec);

if (nla_put(skb, NFQA_TIMESTAMP, sizeof(ts), &ts))
goto nla_put_failure;
}

with a version using ktime_to_timespec64. If you or someone else does
this, that makes one less file for me to track.
