The NIC hardware RX timestamping mechanism adds an optional tailored
header before the MAC header containing packet reception time. Optional
depending on RX descriptor TSIP status bit (IGC_RXDADV_STAT_TSIP). In
case this bit is set driver does offset adjustments to packet data start
and extracts the timestamp.
The timestamp need to be extracted before invoking the XDP bpf_prog,
because this area just before the packet is also accessible by XDP via
data_meta context pointer (and helper bpf_xdp_adjust_meta). Thus, an XDP
bpf_prog can potentially overwrite this and corrupt data that we want to
extract with the new kfunc for reading the timestamp.
