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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
