Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 2/2] virtio-net: support receive timestamp

Add optional hardware rx timestamp offload for virtio-net.

Introduce virtio feature VIRTIO_NET_F_TSTAMP. If negotiated, the
virtio-net header is expanded with room for a timestamp.

To get and set the hwtstamp the functions ndo_hwtstamp_set/get need
to be implemented. This allows filtering the packets and only time stamp
the packets where the filter matches. This way, the timestamping can
be en/disabled at runtime.

Tested:
  guest: ./timestamping eth0 \
          SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE \
          SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_HARDWARE
  host: nc -4 -u 192.168.1.1 319

Signed-off-by: Steffen Trumtrar <s.trumtrar@...gutronix.de>
