| | Well, linux/types.h is supposed to be a 'lightweight', 'core data types 
| | only' kind of header file, so including it is not wrong per se.
| | 
| | Sam, is there some other preferred way perhaps to resolve these?

| Until such a file not passed to some *.S. For example for e820.h
| we have it included to arch/x86/boot/header.S but fortunately
| we're bound by __ASSEMBLY__. So there linux/types.h shouldn't hurt.
| Will check others and report then.

ok, have checked -- this patch seems to be safe.
