What I had in mind was having a simple 'u32 cmd_type' (not a pointer) in
'igc_metadata_request', and do something like:
tx_desc->read.cmd_type_len = cpu_to_le32(meta_req.cmd_type);

I guess that for the mixed case, you could try something like use an
AF_XDP ZC enabled app and a tstamp-enabled one (that sends a tstamp
packet every, say 1ms) and see how large is the impact on the other app.
Or you could write a custom app with a configured ratio of tstamp to
non-tstamp packets.
The custom app would give more consistent feedback I think. The "two
apps" approach would be better for ballpark figures.
