If I understand this correctly, the software clock is updated with
full 64b every 1s. However only 32b timestamp registers are read while
processing packets and higher bits from this clock are used.
How do you ensure these higher order bits are in sync with the higher
order bits in the HW? IOW, what if lower 32b have wrapped around and
you are required to stamp a packet but you still don't have aux worker
updated.
