checkpatch doesn't warn about "u?int\d+_t" types unless
--strict is enabled and most likely it shouldn't.

There are about 100k uses of those types in the kernel.

Many are uapi and are perhaps properly used in drivers and lib.

checkpatch can't tell what type a particular use should have.

Maybe coccinelle could based on whether the include comes
from a uapi directory or prototype or some such.
