I thought the following gen_ndr diff whould make it clear that this
change is wrong, as it changes the way we handle [enum16bit] enums,
which should always be 'uint16' on the wire. Notice that all
hunks are related to structures, which are used for custom marshalled blobs,
not really dcerpc ndr/ndr64.

I thought this patch before
https://git.samba.org/?p=metze/samba/wip.git;a=commitdiff;h=bf52fe08d35f779dbbf959affc58ec2cf3104d96
(drsuapi.idl: drsuapi_DsGetNCChangesCompressionType is just an enum)
Whould show how to fix NDR64 enum handling, for an enum that is really
used for dcderpc ndr/ndr64 marshalling.

(spoolss.idl: use spoolss_NotifyTable as switch_type for spoolss_NotifyData)
and
https://git.samba.org/?p=metze/samba/wip.git;a=commitdiff;h=2ef4c23d614cee387dd6ad4fea20dc72dc296d38
(spoolss.idl: make use of enums in spoolss_Field)
partly show the reverse, that we use use enum16bit for custom marshalled
values,
which are 'unsigned short' in the microsoft idl.

I hope that helps...
