The mpi subfolder contains headers that define the common message passing interface between device driver/application and firmware.  These headers are provided by the firmware group to every device driver and application writer.  There have been several revisions of the headers thru out the past year or so.    I think what your asking is an entire rewrite of all these headers.   I really don't think that is a good idea.

We don't have to rewrite all of them, but you at least need to get the
endian annotations right.  Easiest way to do that would be to just run
a sed script over the version you get from the FW teams to use the
proper __le types instead of the strange U* typedefs.
