I'll take a look at this tomorrow

actypes.h is owned by ACPICA so we typically do not allow compiler-specific
extensions because the code is intended to be compiled using the C99 standard
without compiler extensions. We could allow this sort of thing in a Linux-specific
header file like include/acpi/platform/aclinux.h but I'll take a look at the error as well..
