Why all of the uint32_t and uint64_t types in this patch, but not the
previous one?

Please just stick with u32 and u64, those are the correct kernel types
to be using everywhere. uint32_t and friends are userspace things that
make no sense in kernel space.

Yes, I know people use them, but we should not be adding to the problem
by creating new instances of them for no good reason.

thanks,
