Yes, but then the issue becomes, what if the documentation you're
referencing moves or is removed. People would lose the information
completely. I think it's good to point to it as a "source", but still
have a basic description.
The LP32/LP64 data models seem like one of those things which
shouldn't change anytime soon for the kernel anyway.

I would like to gather info regarding uintptr_t and other similar
types as well. Why they aren't used and have it all compiled into one
place.
