RFC: types conflicts

[Peter Mamonov <pmamonov@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I tried to build MicroPython using barebox toolchain and found a number of
conflicts between barebox and compiler headers. Below you will find the patch
which demostrates some of them. In this particular example the problem arises
due to simultaneous inclusion of some compiler headers along with barebox
version of `strings.h`, which in turn includes barebox analogs of those headers
from `include/linux`. I belive there should be a segregation between headers in
`include` and in `include/linux`, i.e. headers from `include/` should not
reference <linux/*.h> headers. Yet I understand this is somewhat problematic.
What do you think?

Regards,
Peter
