are taken from kernel.org, and rt patch from the rt wiki download page.

During the rebasing, the following patch collided:

Force tick interrupt and get rid of softirq magic(I70131fb85).

Collisions have been removed because its logic was found on the
source already.

 A driver which supports hardware time stamping shall update the struct

 requested packets cannot be time stamped, then nothing should be
