No, _t is not reserved in C, and is reserved for the implementation in
POSIX.  nv is an implementation.  style(9) says not to use _t for
typedefs, but that is for applications.  Kernel code can be considered
as both an implementation and an application.  I normally consider it
as an application, but wouldn't want to disallow using _t in it.
