Making more information from the hardware available to XDP is currently
on our list of things we plan to enable in the future:
https://github.com/xdp-project/xdp-project/blob/master/xdp-project.org#metadata-available-to-programs

I just added timestamps as a field we want in there (so we don't
forget).

I.e., no, there is no way to get this information from XDP (and thus not
from AF_XDP either) yet...
