This is a totally horrible style.  There's absolutely no need to find
your own sized integer types, please use the standard kernel ones.
Also don't use camel case and #pack but rather __attribute__.
Also please avoid // comments.

Also please remove all the historical version garbage, we don't care about
that.

Ugly, isn't it. The collision of two source styles has left some scars. And fixing it is not yet finished. We know about these problems, and we are working on getting rid of them. The historical version garbage is rather important to us internally, and these bits are not yet fully polished, so you get to see it to. I think you'll find us respecting Linux conventions a lot more in the later patches.
