Here is a list of defined kernel data types:

caddr_t		Byte aligned Virtual memory address.
daddr_t		Block number of a block device.
dev_t		Major-Minor device number.
label_t		Data block for 'setjmp'
off_t		Byte offset in file.
paddr_t		Physical memory address

These and other data types are defined in "types.h" and should only
be used in kernel code such as device drivers.
