Please use the proper kernel types when you are passing structures
across the kernel/user boundry (hint, you should NEVER be using the
uint*_t types in the kernel). You need to fix up all of the structures
that you pass through your ioctl, to use the correct __ types, and fix
up everything else to use the other types.

Also, you have a crazy variable naming scheme everywhere, remember, you
can use vowels and '_' characters :)
