Ran into difficulties tonight. Need to protect against kernel types that conflict with glibc in linux/types.h.

I have exactly three instances of 'WANT_KERNEL_TYPES' in my /usr/include tree. :-) I'm honestly not sure why they wern't ripped out completely unless that is something that was PLD specific that was slipped in there as it really doesn't hurt. Might want to check Redhat, Gentoo, Debian, ... sets to see what they do. The quick solution for xorg-server was to remove both instances of linux/types.h in lnx_agp.c. I chose to add the same protected ifdef to linux/types.h and drag in sys/types.h.

I don't see any of these references in sys/types.h, or am I missing something.
