If tools like ptp4l are killed, will leave egress timestamp interrupt 
enabled. And I would like to say that I was able to trigger any bug 
related to this, but I wasn't. So, I don't have any bad behaviour to 
describe :)

However, now I realize that disabling all the PTP IRQs is not a smart 
way to fix this virtual pseudo issue.

Yes. The PHY will ignore the writes and will return 0 on reads.
