This looks wrong to me. It looks like member @flags is not avail at
completion time. At completion time, I assume we also want to know if
someone requested to get the timestamp for this packet (else we could
read garbage).
Another thing (I've raised this before): It would be really practical to
store an u64 opaque value at TX and then read it at Completion time.
One use-case is a forwarding application storing HW RX-time and
comparing this to TX completion time to deduce the time spend processing
the packet.
