considering how quick you responded, i suspect you're not the only one.  so 
we'll continue to live with bits/kernel_types.h.  i don't think it's that big 
of a deal since you only implement it once per arch (by basically copying from 
the kernel where you need to set this up already) and then leave it alone.
