virtio headers are special. Linux headers are normally only consumed in the kernel or in a userspace application running on Linux. virtio headers may be used either in a userspace application running on !Linux (we need to support QEMU on Windows) or even in a foreign kernel. linux/types.h is unusable outside of Linux because it pulls in a bunch of other headers. If you look at Michael's patch, he adds his own version of types.h. It's unfortunate for every user of the headers to do this.
