No externs in .c files. But aside from that, I'd prefer you export a function from xen/time.c to do the clocksource registration and call it from both places (even if its a one-liner).

BUG is a bit severe. Will it really never, ever fail? And if it does, the consequence is hardly serious; we just fall back to emulated devices.
