Well, drivers/ptp/virtual is not really good, because some drivers are
for physical devices exporting PTP interface, but without NIC.
If the lack of a NIC is the differentiating property:

drivers/ptp/net     - all NIC related drivers.
drivers/ptp/netless - all related drivers which are not associated to a NIC.
Or

I would go with "emulating" then.
