In a way similar to ARM commit 09096f6a0ee2 ("ARM: 7822/1: add workaround
for ambiguous C99 stdint.h types"), this patch redefines the macros that
are used in stdint.h so its definitions of uint64_t and int64_t are
compatible with those of the kernel.
This patch comes from: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3540001/

+ * causes trouble when including GCC's version of 'stdint.h' (this is the file
+ * that gets included when you #include <stdint.h> on a -ffreestanding build).
+ * As this file also gets included implicitly when including 'arm_neon.h' (the
+ * NEON intrinsics support header), we need the following to work around the
