That 3.10.0 isn't very useful because Red Hat backports patches. You may or may 
not have the patch I think might help.

So, after the first drop, you consistently see more tx timestamp drops? or do 
those go away? If you're still seeing them, then I would expect them to drift 
apart.

The 36seconds thing I think is a bug in the reset flow of the driver. It's 
possible that something triggers a driver reset, and since the kernel uses the 
UTC time, the driver is resetting to "kernel" time of day, which results in the 
36seconds offset.

Thanks,
