Description
On M1 Max MacBook Pro usb Ethernet, every few hours streaks of corrupt timestamps that are in the future appear
I wrote a test executable exposing the problem
* macOS 13.2.1
* arm64 M1 Max
* usb Gigabit Ethernet
* Does not appear on M1 Mac mini cable Ethernet
* gopacket v1.1.19 — Oct 19, 2020
Apple’s own usb driver is garbage, it could be that. It could be M1 Max

Suggestions:
* Retain the sec nsec values provides by the operating system so they can be inspected by consumer
* Provide an early sibling Go timestamp to use if OS timestamp corrupt
* fix the bug :)
