Better use u_char.


It's defined in <linux/types.h> as is u_char. But we generally prefer
explicitly sized types in Linux - and u_char is a BSDism, the right
not explicitly sized type would be unsigned char.

I am sorry, in 2.6.0-test3 (which I should have mentioned), there is no u8 in liux/types.h. Just a __u8.
Nevertheless there is a mixture in scsi.h, some lines above, u_char is used. This is why I chose to use it.
