Ahh right, through a memcpy. I completely missed that.

And later on it does:
                if (sock_needs_netstamp(sk) &&
                    newsk->sk_flags & SK_FLAGS_TIMESTAMP)
                        net_enable_timestamp();

I take that back then, we can enable timestamp like the above instead.
I'll test and post a patch soon.
