[PATCH] veth: add software timestamping

From: Michael Walle
Date: Wed Aug 29 2018 - 11:34:53 EST


Provide a software TX timestamp as well as the ethtool query interface
and report the software timestamp capabilities.

Tested with "ethtool -T" and two linuxptp instances each bound to a
tunnel endpoint.
