Add support for receive timestamps to the Rx hotpath. This support only
works when using the flexible descriptor format, so make sure that we
request this format by default if we have receive timestamp support
available in the PTP capabilities.
In order to report the timestamps to userspace, we need to perform
timestamp extension. The Rx descriptor does actually contain the "40
bit" timestamp. However, upper 32 bits which contain nanoseconds are
conveniently stored separately in the descriptor. We could extract the
32bits and lower 8 bits, then perform a bitwise OR to calculate the
40bit value. This makes no sense, because the timestamp extension
algorithm would simply discard the lower 8 bits anyways.
Thus, implement timestamp extension as iavf_ptp_extend_32b_timestamp(),
and extract and forward only the 32bits of nominal nanoseconds.

Add handlers for the .ndo_hwtstamp_get and .ndo_hwtstamp_set ops which
allow userspace to request timestamp enablement for the device. This
support allows standard Linux applications to request the timestamping
desired.
As with other devices that support timestamping all packets, the driver
will upgrade any request for timestamping of a specific type of packet
to HWTSTAMP_FILTER_ALL.
The current configuration is stored, so that it can be retrieved by
calling .ndo_hwtstamp_get
The Tx timestamps are not implemented yet so calling set ops for
Tx path will end with EOPNOTSUPP error code.

The Rx timestamps reported by hardware may only have 32 bits of storage
for nanosecond time. These timestamps cannot be directly reported to the
Linux stack, as it expects 64bits of time.
To handle this, the timestamps must be extended using an algorithm that
calculates the corrected 64bit timestamp by comparison between the PHC
time and the timestamp. This algorithm requires the PHC time to be
captured within ~2 seconds of when the timestamp was captured.
Instead of trying to read the PHC time in the Rx hotpath, the algorithm
relies on a cached value that is periodically updated.
Keep this cached time up to date by using the PTP .do_aux_work kthread
function.
The iavf_ptp_do_aux_work will reschedule itself about twice a second,
and will check whether or not the cached PTP time needs to be updated.
If so, it issues a VIRTCHNL_OP_1588_PTP_GET_TIME to request the time
from the PF. The jitter and latency involved with this command aren't
important, because the cached time just needs to be kept up to date
within about ~2 seconds.

Implement support for reading the PHC time indirectly via the
VIRTCHNL_OP_1588_PTP_GET_TIME operation.
Based on some simple tests with ftrace, the latency of the indirect
clock access appears to be about ~110 microseconds. This is due to the
cost of preparing a message to send over the virtchnl queue.
This is expected, due to the increased jitter caused by sending messages
over virtchnl. It is not easy to control the precise time that the
message is sent by the VF, or the time that the message is responded to
by the PF, or the time that the message sent from the PF is received by
the VF.
For sending the request, note that many PTP related operations will
require sending of VIRTCHNL messages. Instead of adding a separate AQ
flag and storage for each operation, setup a simple queue mechanism for
queuing up virtchnl messages.
Each message will be converted to a iavf_ptp_aq_cmd structure which ends
with a flexible array member. A single AQ flag is added for processing
messages from this queue. In principle this could be extended to handle
arbitrary virtchnl messages. For now it is kept to PTP-specific as the
need is primarily for handling PTP-related commands.
Use this to implement .gettimex64 using the indirect method via the
virtchnl command. The response from the PF is processed and stored into
the cached_phc_time. A wait queue is used to allow the PTP clock gettime
request to sleep until the message is sent from the PF.

Add the iavf_ptp.c file and fill it in with a skeleton framework to
allow registering the PTP clock device.
Add implementation of helper functions to check if a PTP capability
is supported and handle change in PTP capabilities.
Enabling virtual clock would be possible, though it would probably
perform poorly due to the lack of direct time access.
