Hmm, the savage driver uses GLuint when it actually means a 32 bit word
in the register definitions. Where does int32_t come from? Would it be
the right type to use in that case? Is there also a uint32_t?

I guess this only matters for non-x86 architectures. I'm not sure if
there are savages for non-x86? I never heard of any.
