This looks odd.

rx and tx timestamps are different clocks?

rx tstamp_lo resets every second but tx_stamp
is free-running?

Maybe this was supposed to be something like

	ns = p->tstamp_lo
	ns |= ((u64)tstamp_hi) << 32;

If not, maybe it warrants a comment around
here or on the descriptor definition
