Is there a difference between u32 to __u32 ? (I didn't see any in the source).
__u32 is usually used to refer to variables that interact with user-space. /* 9 * __xx is ok: it doesn't pollute the POSIX namespace. Use these in the 10 * header files exported to user space 11 */ http://lxr.linux.no/source/include/asm-i386/types.h#L20
