[PATCH 4/8] headers_check: check kernel types inside #define

From: Paul Bolle
Date: Mon Apr 01 2013 - 14:00:43 EST


Kernel integer types are sometimes used inside defines too. Expand
check_kerneltypes() to notice these too.

Annoyingly, lines like
#define VFIO_IRQ_SET_DATA_BOOL (1 << 1) /* Data is bool (u8) */

force me to first strip oneline comments from the processed line. Both
regexes added here are just complicated enough to catch all current uses
of kernel integer types inside preprocessor #defines.
