Ok. I choose __u32. :)

I read such document but I'm still convinced that the attribute
volatile is needed for {assert,clear}_sequence and {assert,clear}_tu
since inside pps_event() they are updated without any locks at all
thanks to the dummy_info variable which is used for unallocated PPS
sources.

Here you can find my last patch.

Thanks again,

Rodolfo
