Hi Navdeep,

Log:
   cxgb(4): add knob to get packet timestamps from the hardware.

   The T3 ASIC can provide an incoming packet's timestamp instead of its RSS 
hash.
   The timestamp is just a counter running off the card's clock.  With a 175MHz
   clock an increment represents ~5.7ns and the 32 bit value wraps around in 
~25s.

   # sysctl -d dev.cxgbc.0.pkt_timestamp
   dev.cxgbc.0.pkt_timestamp: provide packet timestamp instead of connection 
hash

   # sysctl -d dev.cxgbc.0.core_clock
   dev.cxgbc.0.core_clock: core clock frequency (in KHz)
   # sysctl dev.cxgbc.0.core_clock
   dev.cxgbc.0.core_clock: 175000

Is this really a "one or the other" feature, or is it technically possible to support both simultaneously at some point in the future if additional work was done?

Just curious...

Cheers,
Lawrence
