__u64 is a long long variable and ANSI doesn't support long long types. Thats 
why kernel headers have !defined(__STRICT_ANSI__) checks. Either #undef 
__STRICT_ANSI__ before including linux/cdrom.h and buggy friends or stop 
using kernel headers in userspace as Thiago as already pointed out.

One can argue that this is a linux kernel header bug. But linux kernel headers 
are never designed to be used in userspace applications.
