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.
