This patch adds an infrastructure for hardware clocks that implement
IEEE 1588, the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). A class driver offers a
registration method to particular hardware clock drivers. Each clock is
presented as a standard POSIX clock.
The ancillary clock features are exposed in two different ways, via
the sysfs and by a character device.

Certain kinds of hardware time stamping units in both MACs and PHYs have
the limitation that they can only time stamp PTP packets. Drivers for such
hardware are left with the task of correctly matching skbs to time stamps.
This patch adds a BPF that drivers can use to classify PTP packets when
needed.
