extern enum hrtimer_restart it_real_fn(struct hrtimer *);


Perhaps the declaration of it_real_fn() should be moved to hrtimer.h
instead.  Or perhaps not.


Or we could "forward declare" the enum with simply

enum hrtimer_restart;

but given that the compiler works out the storage size of the type at
compile-time, that looks risky.


Or we could not do anything.  Because increasing our inclusion
complexity for no known gain isn't a bargain.


Or is it no known gain?  What prompted you to write this patch?  Some
error message or warning from some tool?  If so, please describe it
fully.
