    ... but if we are looking for a clean solution to types and

    space, IMO the thing to do is to define these in some sort of
    generic format, and have a tool to generate actual headers from
    that according to whatever kernel, libc or whoever wants to
    see. Possibly more than one tool as requirements differ.

Too complex, too hard... why not standard headers for the kernel
peoplem as that is the origin on the headers and helper comments for
others?
