Subject: [PATCH 00/24] Unify integer type definitions, and add fixed type constructor macros


This patchset unifies the integer definitions across all the
<asm-*/types.h> files, replacing them with two asm-generic files, one
for the LL64 model (all 32-bit architectures plus x86-64) and one for
the L64 model (all other 64-bit architectures.)

The latter patches introduce constructor macros, similar to the C99
<inttypes.h> macros, e.g. U64_C(0x123456789abcdef), which produces the
same result as (u64)0x123456789abcdef but (a) is usable in the
preprocessor, (b) doesn't generate warnings, (c) is transparently
ignored for assembly.

The final patch uses said constructor macros to remove nuisance
warnings from kernel/time.c.

This patchset is also pullable as a git tree from:
