I hope someone picks it up, my TODO list already long.

The key thing I, and others, want from the Lukas patch is the
PPS out when the kernel detects the PPS. Without out, nothing much
else matters.
What is your definition of "Timemark"? I thought that was the
time stamp from the u-blox on receipt of the PPS out from linux?

Interesting.

What is "Tm1" and "Tm2"?

Which 'tos'?

How does a daemon get the LKM timestamp? In the base case, as
Lukas had it setup, no need for such a thing.
I already have a private UBX-TIM-TM2 decoder. Something I hope to
release soon. Adding a TM2 decoder to gpsd, and using it to adjust the
KPPS would not be too hard.
Right now gpsd sends a SHM() message with the KPPS timestamp as soon as
it gets it. gpsd would have to delay, hoping to get a TM2, then
send the timestamp deleayd.
