Ok, right, bad memory.

Ok. Now I remember why I touched this: in secondary domain, while
copying the packet for the rtcap driver, I read Xenomai's real-time
clock and Linux' real-time clock, and subtracted to Linux' timestamp the
difference between Xenomai's timestamp and the packet timestamp. This
compensates for the drift.
However, I far as I understood, Benjamin wants to get timestamps using
the NIC's clock. So, the solution would be a bit different.
