kbuild: add checks for include of linux/types in userspace headers
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If we see __[us](8|16|32|64) then we must include <linux/types.h>
If wee see include of <asm/types.h> then we recommend <linux/types.h>

Original script from Mike but modified by me.
