Instead of an array that you have to interpolate, you just get a single (accurate) value. This would be very helpful however, because PTP_SYS_OFFSET is the source of most of the variance in ethtscal.

Avoiding the asymmetry on the PCIe bus is what I'm most interested in.
I'll add support for the new ioctl, but I wanted to test it first. I
think I found a system that has art and e1000e in our lab, so I'll see
if I can test it there.
