I don't think we can include stdint.h here, the entire point of the custom
kernel types is to ensure the other kernel headers can use these types
without relying on libc headers.

While some of driver specific kernel headers have libc dependencies
in them, the general rule is to keep the kernel headers as standalone
usable.
