In addition to Hu's comments, and the fact that you are probably going
to revise the exposed interface anyways, here's some additional points.

timer-win32.c?  Also, I'd go with timer-linux.c, not timer_linux.c.

Bad idea to pollute the namespace with get_clock; better would be
something like virGetClock.

It is dangerous to declare functions in the __ namespace, since that is
reserved for libc and friends.

You probably ought to check for overflow here.  Dealing with raw
nanoseconds is rather fine-grained; is it any better to go with micro or
even milliseconds, or does libvirt really require something as precise
as nanosecond timeouts?
