           Summary: asm/types.h should define __u64 if isoc99

Platform specific bug, and has nothing to do with networking.

This problem will occur with any user visible interface definition
that uses __u64, and there are several both in and outside the
networking.

This bug hit KDE modules (kdebase/kdemultimedia/kdetv/...) many times, I 
workarounded with #undef ing __STRICT_ANSI__ before including kernel headers 
which is well ugly but works.

x86 and perhaps others protect the __u64 definition with:

	defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(__STRICT_ANSI__)

for whatever reason, probably to avoid "long long" or something like
that.  But even that theory makes no sense.

Indeed this restriction just breaks userspace apps.
