Afaicu, u34 and u64 are typedef's specific to the linux kernel, *guaranteed* to be unsigned integers either 32 bits long or 64 bits respectively. This is because of unsigned ints can be of different lengths depending on cpu architechture. Jiffies, from my limited understanding, has to do with timing, i.e. a jiffie (jiffy?) is usually measured in ms. Disclaimer: I wouldn't call myself a developer, period.
