KVM: x86: Redefine 'longmode' as a flag for KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL
The 'longmode' field is a bit annoying as it blows an entire __u32 to
represent a boolean value. Since other architectures are looking to add
support for KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL, now is probably a good time to clean it
up.
Redefine the field (and the remaining padding) as a set of flags.
Preserve the existing ABI by using bit 0 to indicate if the guest was in
long mode and requiring that the remaining 31 bits must be zero.
