Thanks for the review.
On E810, 64B single-core rxonly (--record-core-cycles, Rx core
saturated): with RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_TIMESTAMP enabled, the scalar
fallback was ~159 cyc/pkt; this patch keeps it on the vector path at
~78 (AVX512) / ~75 (AVX2), roughly a 2x reduction. The non-timestamp
path is unchanged.

Done in v2 - rebased, release note folded into the existing ice section,
ice.ini conflict resolved.
>Nit: I'd try to keep this on two lines rather than 3.
Fixed in v2.
Thanks,
Sandeep
