I think there are only some "hacks" to modify the type with GCC. For
example, with "__attribute__((packed))" we can instruct GCC to use the
smallest type possible for the defined enum values.

I think with some fake entries one can eventually instruct GCC to use an
unsigned type in some cases:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14635833/is-there-a-way-to-make-an-enum-unsigned-in-the-c90-standard-misra-c-2004-compl

enum {
	TASK_COMM_LEN = 16,
	TASK_FORCE_UNSIGNED = 0x80000000,
};

Haven't tested it, though, and I'm not sure if we should really do that
... :)
