Although last time around people leaned towards the __uX types, if we
have a consensus amongst drm (kernel) developers about using stdint

We just need a handful of acks from the different maintainers.


My opinion (as a non-Linux driver maintainer) is to use the stdint variants. They are (or at least should be) supported by all OS's and compilers without any special modifications.


That said, it really isn't that hard for me to wrap the __uX types either.
