The time has come to fix it properly instead. Anything which these tools
actually need from the kernel headers should be moved into a separate
header file (still in the kernel source) which is usable from _both_
kernel and userspace.


Isn't this what linux-libc-headers is for?

It should use standard types (like uint16_t etc) 

Why doesn't the kernel use these standard types also?
