Oh.  I was thinking of sys/types.h, but indeed, won't work on
GNU/kFreeBSD because the GNU libc version doesn't provide uint8_t etc.
We have the original FreeBSD header at sys/kglue/sys/types.h

FreeBSD kernel code often uses sys/param.h, which happened to work when
I tried it here, by accident because I think because it brings in
stdint.h

stdint.h was probably the best / most portable thing to use here, but
haven't tried it.
