Ben,

I really like this idea, but I have a couple of questions, below.

  pps, ptp: Remove dependencies on EXPERIMENTAL

Kees Cook just posted a massive series to remove EXPERIMENTAL
everywhere. Maybe it would make sense to have this series follow that
one?

  ptp: Make PTP_1588_CLOCK select rather than depend on PPS
  ptp: Enable clock drivers along with associated net/PHY drivers

The #ifdefs in the Intel and PCH drivers are meant to streamline the
code for users who are not interested in time stamping. Although the
overhead of the additional is minimal (it really just a bunch of
tests), and I wouldn't mind removing the conditionals, I suspect that
some people won't like it.
