I left out the first patch of this series, attached. Unfortunately it
had a bug: without changes to the bits headers, it caused
SO_TIMESTAMP* definitions to disappear from archs that define their
own SO_RCVTIMEO (powerpc* and mips*).

It will be fixed by separating these out into 2 groups with separate
#ifdefs.
