Add optional PTP hardware tx timestamp offload for virtio-net.

Accurate RTT measurement requires timestamps close to the wire.
Introduce virtio feature VIRTIO_NET_F_TX_TSTAMP, the transmit
equivalent to VIRTIO_NET_F_RX_TSTAMP.

The driver sets VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_TSTAMP to request a timestamp
returned on completion. If the feature is negotiated, the device
either places the timestamp or clears the feature bit.

The timestamp straddles (virtual) hardware domains. Like PTP, use
international atomic time (CLOCK_TAI) as global clock base. The driver
must sync with the device, e.g., through kvm-clock.

Modify can_push to ensure that on tx completion the header, and thus
timestamp, is in a predicatable location at skb_vnet_hdr.

RFC: this implementation relies on the device writing to the buffer.
That breaks DMA_TO_DEVICE semantics. For now, disable when DMA is on.
The virtio changes should be a separate patch at the least.

Tested: modified txtimestamp.c to with h/w timestamping:
    -       sock_opt = SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE |
    +       sock_opt = SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE |
    + do_test(family, SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE);

This probably won't work since the buffer is read-only from the device. (See
virtqueue_add_outbuf()).

Another issue that I vaguely remember that the virtio spec forbids out
buffer after in buffer.
Both Driver Requirements: Message Framing and Driver Requirements: Scatter-Gather Support
have this statement:

	The driver MUST place any device-writable descriptor elements after any device-readable descriptor ele-
	ments.


similarly

Device Requirements: The Virtqueue Descriptor Table
	A device MUST NOT write to a device-readable buffer, and a device SHOULD NOT read a device-writable
	buffer.



Exactly. But I wonder what's the rationale behinds those requirements?

Thanks
