The `bool', `true' and `false' are all standard keywords defined and
reserved by C, although the stdbool.h is not used in ixgbe.

C adds this support by introducing a new header stdbool.h:

#ifndef __bool_true_false_are_defined
#define __bool_true_false_are_defined   1

#ifndef __cplusplus

#define false   0
#define true    1

#define bool    _Bool
#if __STDC_VERSION__ < 199901L && __GNUC__ < 3 && !defined(__INTEL_COMPILER)
typedef int     _Bool;
#endif

#endif /* !__cplusplus */
#endif /* __bool_true_false_are_defined */
