Glibc has been providing its own types for years.
Kernel provided types used to be wrong for ia32

What about ioctls and other calls then that actually do rely on the
kernel headers and use the __kernel_*_t types?

Now, glibc *shouldn't* have to do that... it is an indication of failure 
on our part.
