Resolution of jiffies is 4ms. ktime_t is has better resolution (upto ns
scale). With jiffies, I observed that code was either always polling DMA
progress counters (which affects HW data transfer speed) or sleeping too
long, both causing performance loss. Switching to ktime_t provides
better prediction of how long transfer takes to complete.
