What itches my eye is

#ifndef __KERNEL__
#include <stdint.h>
#endif

I am not sure how much Linux header files are supposed to be usable
from C++, but in case someone does, <cstdint> should be used in C++0x
mode. Testing for C++0x with macros however looks even more out of
place in such header files.
Thoughts?
