Hmm. Yea thanks for jogging my memory here. The i40e device does timestamp into 
registers, and if the packet rate is high it's possible to overflow the 4 
registers we have for Rx timestamps. There were also some bugs in this logic 
for handling the timestamps that I fixed but I am pretty sure they were all 
done before 4.15

Thanks,
Jake
