Like Andrew said we need a test in tree. But Vadim has been promising me
a timestamping test for a while, so adding him here. You can probably
work together (unless you already have such a test).

When you respin - note that mock_phc takes a spin lock without _bh
around its internals. It needs to be changed to _bh() if we call
it form the xmit path.
