I don't quite understand what problems you think we might have. We're
already using userspace libraries (libvnc) and most of us code is
non-kernel code.

We switched to u64 and friends for two reasons: (1) using uint*_t
turned out to be painful when using kernel headers (e.g., mptables,
e820, etc.) and (2) we want to be as close as possible to the coding
style of tools/perf to be able to reuse their code in the future.

Oh, okay. We should probably start out with that and switch to section
tricks if we have to.
