+ *

+ *
+ * BOOLEAN      Logical boolean
+ *
+ * UINT8        8-bit  (1 byte) unsigned value

+ *
+ * INT16        16-bit (2 byte) signed value
+ * INT32        32-bit (4 byte) signed value
+ * INT64        64-bit (8 byte) signed value
+ *
+ * COMPILER_DEPENDENT_UINT64/INT64 - These types are defined in the
+ * compiler-dependent header(s) and were introduced because there is no common
+ * 64-bit integer type across the various compilation models, as shown in
+ * the table below.
+ *
+ * Datatype  LP64 ILP64 LLP64 ILP32 LP32 16bit
+ * char      8    8     8     8     8    8
+ * short     16   16    16    16    16   16
+ * _int32         32
+ * int       32   64    32    32    16   16
+ * long      64   64    32    32    32   32

+ *
+ * Note: ILP64 and LP32 are currently not supported.
+ *
+ *
+ * 2) These types represent the native word size of the target mode of the
+ * processor, and may be 16-bit, 32-bit, or 64-bit as required. They are
+ * usually used for memory allocation, efficient loop counters, and array
+ * indexes. The types are similar to the size_t type in the C library and are
+ * required because there is no C type that consistently represents the native
+ * data width.
+ *

+ * ACPI_NATIVE_UINT 16/32/64-bit unsigned value
