Umm...  That has happened and yes, asm-generic/types.h is currently
equivalent to asm-generic/int-ll64.h.  What exactly are you planning
to do?  Just rename the latter to the former and do search-and-replace
over the tree?  We still have places that pull int-l64.h, albeit only
!__KERNEL__ ones (i.e. everything under #ifdef __KERNEL__ in there
seems to be killable)...

AFAICS, for quite a few of those guys we can simply add bitsperlong.h
and add types.h to generic-y; is that the plan?
