Intel's 82599, supported by ixgbe, also has the same IEEE 1588
timestamping support in hardware. We haven't implemented the support
yet in ixgbe, but the hardware is there and does work. If you were
curious of the interface, the datasheet for the hardware is available on
our SourceForge site (e1000.sf.net).
