Inside the kernel you should use "u32", "u16", "u8", etc. for purely
internal things, and for datastructures exported to userspace you
should use "__u32", "__u16", "__u8".

Furthermore, if the members have specific endianness you should
properly use the "__le32", "__le16", "__be32", "__be16" etc. types.

Please use netlink for device instantiation and configuration
rather than ioctls.
