you can set VMIN and VTIME fields of `struct termios` to
do blocking read(). When it returns, you catch gettimeofday()
'as soon as possible', then finishes decoding serial data.

receiveTimeStamp is that from gettimeofday(), and clockTimeStamp
is that from serial data.

if you can't guess them from serial data, use values on which NTP
will not complain:)
