<asm/ptrace.h> is exported to userland so we can't include these types.
Basically <linux/types.h> or <stdint.h> are polluting the namespace.  So
either we use some __* type and include only those or we get entirely
rid of typedef'ed types - as in the patch that you've posted while I was
writing this.
