Sorry if my question is trivial.
I understand that when we require rx timestamping, we need to ask to the 
device to timestamp all incoming packets since we don't know the path of 
the packet in advance.
For tx timestamping, you seems to say that the request to timestamp the 
packet is contained in the skbuff and is done on a per packet basis ?
