I don't think this is a sufficient patch to solve these problems.

So you're adding linux/atm.h as an include for non-kernel, fine,
but:

Well, linux/atm.h, which we'll now get, has the same exact problem,
it uses "uint16_t" and related types.

Futehermore, nothing in the include chain will get linux/types.h
include, which we'll need.  linux/atm.h protects the inclusion
of linux/types.h with __KERNEL__.
