Correct me if I am wrong, but to get meaningful hardware timestamps,
you need the machines to be synchronized with PTP, so, there is much
more work to get this working than just implement this ioctl. I
think we should start small, with software timestamps, as with
Xenomai low latencies, and the fact that determinism requires to not
fill the hardware queues, you should have some good precision already.
