Subject: [PATCH 2/4] phylib: add a way to make PHY time stamps possible.

This patch adds a new networking option to allow hardware time stamps
from PHY devices. Using PHY time stamps will still require adding two
inline function calls to each MAC driver. The CONFIG option makes
these calls safe to add, since the calls become NOOPs when the option
is disabled.

The patch also adds phylib driver methods for the SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl
and callbacks for transmit and receive time stamping. Drivers may
optionally implement these functions.
