    Hi,

    I've been working on a new DES implementation for Linux, and ran into
    the problem of how to get access to C99 types like uint_fast32_t for
    internal (not interface) use. In my tests, key setup on Athlon 64 slows
    down by 40% when using u32 instead of uint_fast32_t.

    So I wonder if there is any standard way of, say, including stdint.h for
    internal use in kernel code?
