So in the past, I pushed back on Richard for having something similar,
as I'm not psyched about duplicating interfaces. However, your
implementation is CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW instead of CLOCK_REALTIME and it
keeps the adjustments internal, I'm not as opposed.

So I think having such test driver is probably reasonable, but please
make it more explicit that it is just a testing driver, and not
something someone should try to use.

Probably should rename things from ixp_*
