The "uint*" types are not valid kernel types. They are userspace types
and do not transfer properly in all arches and situations when crossing
the user/kernel boundry. They are also in a different C "namespace", so
should not even be used in kernel code, although a lot of people do
because they are used to writing userspace C code :(
