Hmm, that adds another level of indirection, but yes, we can do it.

Bah. This mmtimer which is used by 3 people in the world requires that we
keep the register_clock() function around after init and even export it.
In fact it makes no sense at all to keep that register function around with
your changes. The patch below makes all of this const in the !MMTIMER
case. If MMTIMER is enabled the thing is equaly secure as now.
Thanks,
