Yes, I don't do any synchronization and don't disable the sleep states.

Sounds good. I can probably just store last rx_timestamp somewhere in the
global var and do a delta on tx? Since the test is single threaded
and sequential, not sure we need the mechanism to pass the tstamp around.
LMK if you disagree and I'm missing something.

To avoid the busypoll here (since we don't care too much about perf in
the test). But I agree, should be ok to drop, will do.
