Measure the time delay from when the frame arrives in the stack until
that frame+RxTimestamp arrives in the application.  I expect the round
about way via kthread takes longer.

The network stack always delivers the packet, but you artificially
delay that delivery by calling netif_receive_skb() later on from
cpts_match_rx_ts().

That won't avoid the net softirq.

I am afraid people will copy this pattern in new drivers.  It really
does not make much sense.

Thanks,
