I don't mind moving from __uintXX_t to uintXX_t so long as the changes
land in the kernel and xfsprogs at the same time.

Basically, I use stgit with my kernel/xfsprogs git repos to maintain the
stack of patches that go to the mailing lists.  Right now the libxfs
code in both are nearly identical, so it's very easy to jump to the
middle of the stack, make a change, and send it to the other git repo.
This becomes much more painful if I have to edit a diff as it jumps
between repos so that they apply and build.
