Or we can do the s/reserved/mask/ change and avoid any "unexpected"
effect of "long &= ~int". This allso allows to kill ifdef(__i386__).

But this is include/uapi, I do not know if I can simply remove the
old define's.

In short: whatever you prefer, including "leave it alone".

I don't know why this is uapi... finest make a lot of sense to me.

I'm personally fine either with that or with Peter's suggestion to do:

-#define DR6_RESERVED (0xFFFF0FF0)
+#define DR6_RESERVED (~0xF00FUL)

If this should stay stable UAPI, we probably want Peter's solution. Otherwise
I really don't mind.

Thanks.
