Re: Missing size_t declaration in UAPI

[Elichai Turkel <elichai dot turkel at gmail dot com>]

After further reading into `nolibc.h` I think not all of it should be
in UAPI (specifically the syscalls wrappers don't).
I think it should be split and both the ASM declarations and the
types(i.e. size_t) should be in UAPI
