Unfortunately I am usually in a higher kernel than Slackware-current is, so always get in trouble. Looking at /usr/include/linux headers, I think there is a bug in <linux/pci.h>. It #includes <linux/mod_devicetable.h>, at the top and outside of an #ifdef __KERNEL__ which is located further down, where #include <linux/types.h> is also present. It seems to me that inside the #ifdef __KERNEL__ is where it should be placed. I tested just modifying <linux pci.h>, rather than having to modify /usr/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h and dosemu's src/emu.c to add the types.h and make it compile correctly and it worked too! Maybe the kernel guys will pick that change up, if it carries no other implications ...
