That's just a declaration, it is often used to avoid recursive
dependencies between headerfiles. This implies that the timespec
definition is already somewhere else.

It could be defined in sys/types.h or sys/time.h. The declaration in
time.h is just a stub, but actually good enough for compilation.

A quick hack would be to add #include <time.h> to coda.h. As this
most likely breaks compilation for the kernel, we should in all
files that includes cfs/coda.h, have an #include <time.h> before that
point.

I just did some find/grep/comm tricks there are only 11 files that
include coda.h but no time.h, and 8 to check for the ordering. I might
just do that.

You're at 40% at most, and haven't even really had any of the larger c++
parts.
