I meant the files which don't have massive amounts of C99 types and
aren't under active development right now. I just wanted to avoid
trouble for starters. ;)

We can stop ignoring PREFER_KERNEL_TYPES in checkpatch (the ignores are
in dim). We don't even have to change everything for that, we just need
to change enough to make the S/N better. People tend to use the types
near the places they change.
