I notice that this patch also increases the accuracy of the timestamp
from seconds to milliseconds, where the original code ignores the
sub-second portion of the timeval.
Doing this will make the the function a little slower, but I have
verified that it is only called for probe, reset and config-change,
all of which are not timing critical.
