One might ask why?
The kernel types are older, but the uintX_t ones are now part
of the C standard.

Writing header files (eg for ioctl buffers) that have to be
parsed by both userspace and kernel is a PITA unless the uintX_t
forms are used - at which point you have inconsistent names
in the same file.

At some point someone might decide that the uintX_t types are
preferred (as NetBSD did a few years ago) - so these changes
would get reverted.
