I cc'd you folks because you were part of this conversation:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1526350925-14922-3-git-send-email-yamada.masahiro@socionext.com/T/#u

I *think* the conclusion there was that this sort of change makes
sense, but I want to make sure.  If it does make sense, I'm surprised
at how much stuff in include/linux/ still uses __u32 when it doesn't
appear to need it.
