Personally, I'd kill these with fire, then salt the fields that bore
them.

But as long as we have them in our code, checkpatch needs to cope.
Let's list all types documented in
<https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Basic-Types.html>.
Missing:

    gint8
    guint8
    gint16
    guint16
    gint32
    guint32
    gint64
    guint64
    gsize
    gssize
    goffset
    gintptr
    guintptr
