http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci.git/commit/?h=for-linus&id=f70899ff889a38f9697d3c153aaacaed25f501c3

Please consider to split that into two patches.
First one include changes in : include/linux/types.h and

ok, will on that to have three patches cover them.

Sure. That will affect all platform.
